About the conference<br>
<br>
<span class="gmail-il">LAGOS</span>'2017 edition will be special for two
reasons: (I) we will celebrate the 150th anniversary of two of the most
influential researchers, colleagues and friends, Jayme Luiz Szwarcfiter
(UFRJ, Brazil) and Thomas Liebling (EPFL, Switzerland). (II) For this
special edition, <span class="gmail-il">LAGOS</span> Symposium will held in
France, a Latin Country which has always collaborated with the
development of the science in the Latin American countries. The previous
editions were held in Fortaleza, Brazil (GRACO 2001), Santiago, Chile
(LACGA 2004), Angra dos Reis, Brazil (GRACO 2005), Puerto Varas, Chile (<span class="gmail-il">LAGOS</span> 2007), Gramado, Brazil (<span class="gmail-il">LAGOS</span> 2009), Bariloche, Argentina (<span class="gmail-il">LAGOS</span> 2011), Playa del Carmen, Mexico (<span class="gmail-il">LAGOS</span> 2013), and Fortaleza, Brazil (<span class="gmail-il">LAGOS</span>
2015). As in previous editions, the proceedings of the accepted papers
will be published in Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics and a
special edition of Discrete Applied Mathematics will be devoted to
selected full papers.<br>
<br>
