VIII Latin-American Workshop on Cliques in Graphs

We are very pleased to announce that the 8th Latin American Workshop on Cliques in Graphs will be held on August 9-11, 2018 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Following the previous workshops at (2002) Rio de Janeiro,

Brazil; (2006) La Plata, Argentina; (2008) Guanajuato, Mexico; (2010) Itaipava, Brazil; (2012) Buenos Aires, Argentina; (2014) Pirenópolis, Brazil and (2016) La Plata, Argentina, the workshop is meant to foster

interaction between the Latin American Graph Theory and Combinatorics researchers, whose research interests include cliques, clique graphs, the behavior of cliques and other topics in Graph Theory.The LAWCG 2018

is supported by the Special Committee on Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization (CE-ACO [1]) of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC [2]).

In 2018, the LAWCG is a satellite event of ICM 2018 [3] (International Congress of Mathematicians), that will be held in Rio de Janeiro, from August 1st to 9th, 2018.
