Abstract
The focus of this article is on three of the author's open conjectures. The article itself surveys results relating to the conjectures and shows where the conjectures are known to hold.Keywords: edge-coloring, Ramsey number, vertex-distinguishing edge-coloring, strong chromatic index, balanced edge-coloring, local coloring, mean coloring.
