Welcome Message from the General Chairs

Abstract

We would have wished to begin our foreword by welcoming you to beautiful Lake Como, Italy, where the conference was intended to take place. However, due to the pandemic of coronavirus, the in-presence event had to be cancelled. Nevertheless, we decided to replace it with a live event that, albeit attended remotely via conference tools, preserves and fosters as much as possible the interaction and sense of community that characterizes in-presence events in general, and SECON in particular.
