It is a great pleasure to present the technical program of the 7th ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing, ACM MobiHoc 2006.This year, the conference received 321 submissions, representing about a 15% increase over last year's submissions. These numbers show that the worldwide community of researchers working on ad hoc networks is growing. The large number of submissions also confirms MobiHoc as the leading technical meeting for researchers who work in ad hoc networking and computing.With so many papers to choose from, the Technical Program Committee' job to select a technical program with the highest excellence was challenging and time consuming. All papers were judged based on their quality through a three-phase, double-blind, reviewing process. Each paper was analyzed by at-least three program committee members. During the first quick reject phase the program committee members identified and recommended for reject the papers that were clearly below the quality threshold, or out of scope for the conference. The remaining papers underwent an in-depth review process. At the end of this second phase, an on-line discussion phase was conducted to reach consensus between different reviewers. In the case of papers with diverging evaluations additional reviews were requested.As the result of this three-phase process, each paper was either recommended to be rejected, or to be further discussed at the program committee meeting. Specifically, fifty-nine papers were recommended for discussion at the meeting. The program committee meeting was held in Atlanta, and was hosted by the Georgia Institute of Technology, on 4-5 March 2006. Twenty-two program committee members were physically present at the meeting in Atlanta, while others joined the meeting via teleconference. After two days of intensive discussions, the Technical Program Committee finally selected 31 papers for presentation in eight single-track technical sessions. These selected contributions cover a broad range of topics including Theory, Medium Access Control, Routing & Forwarding, Sensor Networks, Location Services, Security, Topology Control, Mobility Models; thus providing a very good representation of the excellent research being undertaken worldwide in the area.
