[AISWorld] CFP: International Workshop on Distributed Digital Twins (DiDiT) - deadline 9 April

[Victoria Degeler]

DiDiT 2024 - 1st International Workshop on Distributed Digital Twins
co-located with the 19th International Federated Conference on Distributed
Computing Techniques (DisCoTec)

Authors are invited to submit short and regular papers to the 1st
International Workshop on Distributed Digital Twins (DiDiT), the premier
workshop on Distributed Digital Twins, that will take place on June 17 in
Groningen, the Netherlands and is co-located with the 19th International
Federated Conference on Distributed Computing Techniques (DisCoTec).

Scope
=====
A digital twin (DT) is a virtual representation of a physical object,
system, or process (including cities, and even ecosystems), synchronised
with the real-world entity it replicates. It does so by using Internet of
Things (IoT) technologies, such as sensors and actuators. Through the
application of digital technologies, such as AI, data analytics and
computer simulations, a DT application can be used to experiment, simulate,
analyse, adapt, and optimise the behaviour, performance and maintenance of
the real-world counterpart, including its interaction with other objects or
systems. However, large industrial systems often consist of complex
distributed and interconnected elements and sub-systems. Real-time
representation of the complexity of such interconnections poses many
scientific and industrial challenges.

This workshop provides a discussion platform for academia and industry to
investigate the topic of distributed digital twins, shed light on the
issues and challenges and propose solutions for the problems of distributed
ecosystems in large-scale cyber-physical systems.

Main Topics
===========
We welcome papers with novel ideas in related topics, including (but not
limited) to the following:

Digital Twin architectures
Theoretical models and foundations for distributed cyber-physical systems
Distributed cyber-physical communication and coordination models
Distributed digital twins properties, modelling and definitions
Management and orchestration of distributed control systems
Distributed decision-making with digital twins
Adaptability and variability frameworks for distributed cyber-physical
systems
Testing and validation - approaches, frameworks, testbeds
Verification of properties, models and definitions
Real-world deployments and experimentations
Interdisciplinary aspects of digital twins
