This book constitutes the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Graph Transformations, ICGT 2015, held in L'Aquila, Italy, in July 2015. The 15 full papers presented together with 3 short papers and 1 keynote were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on foundations; applications: technical papers, and tool presentations.
