This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post workshop proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms, WAOA 2010, held in Liverpool, UK, in September 2010 as part of the ALGO 2010 conference event.The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed andselected from 58 submissions. The workshop covered areas such asalgorithmic game theory, approximation classes, coloring andpartitioning, competitive analysis, computational finance, cuts andconnectivity, geometric problems, inapproximability results, echanismdesign, network design, packing and covering, paradigms for design and analysis of approximation and online algorithms, parameterizedcomplexity, randomization techniques, real-world applications, andscheduling problems.
