description: This volume contains the revised lecture notes corresponding to nine of the lecturecoursespresentedatthe5thInternationalSchoolonAdvancedFunctional Programming, AFP 2004, held in Tartu, Estonia, August 14-21, 2004. The goal of the AFP schools is to inform the wide international communities of computer science students and software production professionals about the new and important developments in the area of functional programming. The schools put a special emphasis on practical applications of advanced techniques. The Tartu school was preceded by four earlier schools in B? astad, Sweden (1995, LNCS 925), Olympia, WA, USA (1996, LNCS 1129), Braga, Portugal (1998, LNCS 1608) and Oxford, UK (2002, LNCS 2638).
