Synopsis:

The 4th International Conference on Ad-Hoc Networks and Wireless (ADHOC- NOW 2005)was held October 6-8,2005in Cancun, Mexico. Adhoc Now started as a workshop in 2002 and was held at the Fields Institute in Toronto. In 2003, it was held in Montreal, and in 2004 it was held in Vancouver. 2005 was the ?rst yearfortheconferencetomoveoutsideofCanada.Thepurposeoftheconference is to create a collaborative forum between mathematicians, computer scientists, and engineers for research in the ?eld of mobile ad hoc and sensor networks. In 2005, we received over 100 submissions from 22 di?erent countries: Australia,Canada,China,France,Germany,Greece,India,Ireland,Italy,Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Tunisia, the UK, and the USA - a true international conference. Of the papers submitted, we selected 27 for presentation at the conference and publication in the proceedings. We are grateful to our Technical Program, Organizing, and Steering C- mittees; without their help, expertise, and experiencewe could not haveselected such a ?ne program. We thank Jorge Urrutia of the Instituto de Matem´ aticas, Universidad NacionalAut´ onoma de M´ exico,and J.J. Garcia-Luna-Acevesof the Computer Engineering Department, University of California, Santa Cruz for - cepting our invitation to speak at the conference. Special thanks are due to the crewfromtheFacultaddeCienciasF´ ?sico-Matem´ aticasUniversidadMichoacana for handling the local arrangements, and to the Mobile Adhoc Research Lab at Arizona State University for handling odd jobs on a moment's notice.

Synopsis: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Ad-Hoc Networks and Wireless, ADHOC-NOW 2005, held in Cancun, Mexico in October 2005. The 27 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from over 100 submissions. The papers discuss architectures, protocols, and algorithms for: access control, scheduling, ad hoc and sensor networks analytic methods and modelling for performance evaluation, characterization, optimization, auto-configuration, incentives and pricing, location awareness, discovery, dependence, and management, mesh networks, new applications, power management, power control, and energy-efficiency, quality-of-service, resource allocation, multimedia, routing (unicast, multicast, etc.), security and privacy, service discovery, systems and testbeds, wireless internet, and data management.
