Message from the co-chairs

It is our great pleasure to welcome all participants in this 24^th edition of the Tyrrhenian International Workshop on Digital Communications (TIWDC 2013), dedicated to Green Information and Communications Technology (Green ICT). The TIWDC series of Workshops started as an annual international forum on Digital Communications, located in Tirrenia, near Pisa. Since the late ´90s, the Workshop has become the flagship scientific event of the National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications (CNIT), an independent organization joining 37 universities all over Italy, which are active in research and teaching in all telecommunications and networking areas. The main topic of the Workshop is selected each year within this field, and the location is chosen in an “extended” geographical region of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
