Abstract
For a given graph, the edge-coloring problem is to minimize the number of colors sufficient
to color all the graph edges so that any adjacent edges receive different colors. For all classes
defined by sets of forbidden subgraphs, each with 7 edges, the complexity status of this problem is
known. In this paper, we obtain a similar result for all sets of 8-edge prohibitions.
