  These are the proceedings of the First Workshop on GRAPH Inspection and
Traversal Engineering (GRAPHITE 2012), which took place on April 1, 2012 in
Tallinn, Estonia, as a satellite event of the 15th European Joint Conferences
on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS 2012).
  The topic of the GRAPHITE workshop is graph search in all its forms in
computer science. Graph search algorithms tend to have common characteristics,
such as duplicate state detection, independent of their application domain.
Over the past few years, it has been shown that the scalability of such
algorithms can be dramatically improved by using, e.g., external memory, by
exploiting parallel architectures, such as clusters, multi-core CPUs, and
graphics processing units, and by using heuristics to guide the search. The
goal of this event is to gather scientists from different communities, such as
model checking, artificial intelligence planning, game playing, and algorithm
engineering, who do research on graph search algorithms, such that awareness of
each others' work is increased.
