Over the past decades there have been very rapid developments of analysis and numerical approximations for singular problems. To review the recent developments and to explore exciting new directions in this area, the International Workshop on Analysis and Numerical Approximation of Singular Problems was held at Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Portugal, from 10-12 November 2004. The aim of this workshop was to bring together active scientists working on singular problems in physics and engineering, and to provide a forum so that they would meet and exchange ideas in a stimulating environment. The conference was attended by more than forty participants from over ten countries, including 14 invited talks, 13 contributed talks and a poster session.
