TheThirdAnnualInternationalConferenceonCombinatorialOptimizationand Applications, COCOA2009, tookplace in Huangshan, China, June 10 12,2009. Past COCOA conferences were held in Xi an, China (2007) and Newfoundland, Canada (2008). COCOA2009providedaforumforresearchersworkingintheareasofcom- natorial optimization and its applications. In addition to theoretical results, the conference is particularly focused on recent works on experimental and applied research of general algorithmic interest. The Program Committee received 103 submissions from 17 countries and regions: Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Poland, Switzerland, Taiwan, UK, and USA. Among the 103 submissions, 50 papers were selected for presentation at the conference and are included in this volume. Some of these will be selected for publicationinaspecialissueofJournalof Combinatorial Optimization, aspecial issue of Theoretical Computer Science, and a special issue of Discrete Mat- matics, Algorithms and Applications under the standard refereeing procedure. In addition to the selected papers, the conference also included one invited p- sentation by Panos M. Pardalos (University of Florida, USA). We thank the authors for submitting their papers to the conference. We are grateful to the members of the Program Committee and the external referees for their work within demanding time constraints.
