The Department of Science and Technology, Government of India has launched, as a part of the new major national initiative, two programs: ‘National Centre for Advanced Research in Discrete Mathematics' ((n-CARDMATH) and ‘National Mathematical Sciences Initiative' (NMSI). In consonance with these two programs, the Academy of Discrete Mathematics and Applications (ADMA), formed on June10, 2004, declared June 10th, as ‘Graph Theory Day' and decided to observe this day by organizing major academic events on or around that date. Accordingly, ‘Graph Theory Day IV' has been decided to be observed by organizing the International Conference on Discrete Mathematics during June 6-10, 2008 (ICDM-2008) at the University of Mysore.  This conference also signifies the flagging off  another major joint venture of the University of Mysore and ADMA in the establishment of the Srinivasa Ramanujan Centre for Intensification of Interdisciplinary Interaction in Discrete Mathematical Sciences (SRC-IIIDMS) in the campus of the University of Mysore.
