These proceedings contain the papers presented at the 2005 IFIP International Conference on Network and Parallel Computing (NPC 2005), held in Beijing, China, between November 30 and December 3, 2005. We also accepted 20 papers as short papers for a possible brief presentation at the conference, followed by discussion during a poster session.
