			 The Fifth International Valentin Turchin Workshop 
			on Metacomputation (META 2016) will be held in
			June 27 - July 1, 2016, in an ancient 
			Russian town Pereslavl-Zalessky, on the bank of Pleshcheevo lake, in
			
			Ailamazyan Program Systems Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences. 
			This workshop 
			belongs to a series of biennial workshops devoted to the memory of
			Valentin Turchin 
			(1931-2010) and aims to bring together researchers working in the areas 
			of program analysis and program manipulation, collectively referred 
			to as metacomputation: supercompilation, partial evaluation, 
			distillation, mixed computation, generalized partial computation, slicing, 
			verification, as well as cross-fertilization with other modern research 
			and development directions that treat programs as data objects, and 
			their applications. 
			The workshop 
			participants will live in a new
			hotel Troyka in
			
			the center of Pereslavl-Zalessky in 200m from
			
			the most ancient church in the European part of Russia and use free 
			time for pleasant sightseeing. 
			The proceedings will be published by a local publishing 
			house before the workshop. They will be made accessible in electronic 
			form via Internet. 
			The previous workshops in this series were
			META 2008,
			META 2010,
			META 2012, 
			and META 2014.
