This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Mobile Agents for Telecommunication Applications, MATA 2001, held in Montreal, Canada in August 2001. The 26 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the volume. Among the topics addressed are network management, mobile applications, nomadic computing, feature interaction, Internet applications, QoS managment, policy-based management, interactive multimedia, tele-learning, and computer telephony integration.
