The third international workshop on AD-HOC NetwOrks and Wireless was held in the downtown Vancouver facilities of Simon Fraser University. The ?rst ADHOC-NOW was held in 2002 at the Fields Institute in Toronto and the s- ond in 2003 in Montreal. Its purpose is to create a collaborative forum between Mathematicians,ComputerScientistsandEngineersforresearchintheemerging ?eld of ad-hoc networks. The number of submissions exceeded all expectations this year. Over 150 papers were submitted of which 22 regular and 8 short papers were accepted for presentation and inclusion in the conference proceedings.

We would like to thank the invited speaker Martha Steenstrup for her - search presentation and the program committee for refereeing the submissions. Many thanks to Paul Boone, Jen Hall, Jo-Ann Rockwood, Zheyin Li, and Tao Wan for helping with the workshop logistics. Special thanks go to MITACS (MathematicsofInformationTechnologyandComplexSystems)andPIMS(- ci?c Institute for the Mathematical Sciences) for supporting the workshop ?n- cially,CarletonUniversityandtheUniversityofAlbertaforprovidingcomputing facilities, and Simon Fraser University for its hospitality.
