Abstract: Based on the observation that $Ad{S}_{5}imes{S}^5/Z_k$ orbifolds have a maximal supersymmetric PP-wave limit, the description of strings in PP-waves in terms of $calN=2$ quiver gauge theories is presented. We consider two different, small and large $k$, cases and show that the operators in the gauge theory which correspond to stringy excitations are labelled by two integers, the excitation and winding or momentum numbers. For the large $k$ case, the relation between the space-time and worldsheet deconstructions is discussed. We also comment on the possible duality between these two cases.
