PREFACE

This special issue of Discussiones Mathematice Graph Theory (DMGT) is dedicated to selected papers presented at the 12th Workshop on Graph Theory: Colourings, Independence and Domination (CID) held on 16-21 September 2007 in Karpacz, Poland. The meeting was organized by the Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Econometrics under the auspice of Rector of University of Zielona Góra and was partially sponsored by the Committee on Mathematics of Polish Academy of Sciences. It continues a series of international workshops: 1993-1997 in Lubiatów, 1998-2001 in Gronów, 2003 and 2005 in Karpacz. About 70 participants formed the audience of six invited lectures
