Scope
Digital twins, which are a virtual representation of real-world physical
entities, have received significant interest from both the research and
industrial communities.

Initially, the concept of twins was introduced by the United States
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Apollo program in the
1970s, where virtual

replicas of space vehicles on Earth were built to mirror the condition of
the equipment during the mission. Then, the concept of Digital Twin was
introduced to John

Vickers by Michael Grieves in the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) as a
virtual instance (twin) of a physical system.

The main goal of this half day workshop is to address these challenges and
present advanced and innovative tools, design and modeling techniques, and
algorithms for diverse Real-Time Distributed IoT applications and services.
Contributions addressing both theoretical and practical applications,
including, but not limited to, the following topics, are welcome for
submission:

-
- *DT Technology as a New Frontiers for Future Networks*
-
- Emerging Cloud, Edge, Fog, and Embedded ML for Digital Twin

All accepted paper will be indexed and published in the IEEE Explore
repository.


Two types of submissions are accepted:

- *Regular Research papers: *contributions should describe original work
(up to 6 pages including all text, figures, references, and appendices).
- *Short Papers and position papers: *Research in progress, tools
presentations, and new ideas (up to 4 pages including all text, figures,
references, and appendices).

Submitted papers will be evaluated according to their rigor, significance,
originality, technical quality and exposition, by at least three distinct
members of an international program committee. At least one author of each
accepted paper must register and participate in the workshop. Registration
is subject to the terms, conditions, and procedures of the main conference
