Call for Papers
The Fourth International Workshop on Data Driven and AI-Enabled
Digital Twin Networks and Applications (TwinNetApp)
in conjunction with IEEE ICC 2026
May 24-28, 2026 – Glasgow, Scotland, UK
Workshop Website: https://icc26-twinnetapp.bcrg.uk/
Conference Website: https://icc2026.ieee-icc.org/
===============================================
Digital Twin (DT) technology has emerged as a critical enabler for
next-generation communication networks. Regarding this, DTs provide
real-time synchronization between physical and digital systems and support
advanced monitoring, emulation, and optimization capabilities. By bridging
the physical and virtual domains, DTs provide novel approaches to design,
analyze, and operate complex infrastructures that go far beyond traditional
simulation methods. Real-time network monitoring, predictive modelling,
proactive management, and what-if simulation are significant examples that
highlight DT's potential in the communication domain and beyond. When
combined with next-generation mobile communications (5G/6G), Artificial
Intelligence (AI), Generative AI (GenAI), Internet of Things (IoT),
Transfer Learning (TL), Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR),
Edge/Fog Computing, federated architectures, and microservice-based
platforms, DT becomes a foundation to guarantee latency-sensitive,
energy-efficient, and secure services. These synergies create opportunities
for sustainable and scalable solutions in diverse sectors, from smart
cities and agriculture to healthcare, manufacturing, and autonomous
systems. This workshop invites original contributions that address all
aspects of DT networks, systems, and applications, including theoretical
models, system architectures, optimization methods, security mechanisms,
and real-world testbeds. By bringing together academia, industry, and
standardization bodies, the workshop aims to establish a cross-disciplinary
forum to explore the transformative role of DT in shaping sustainable,
intelligent, and connected communication infrastructures. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
- Data-driven and IoT-based DT networks for real-time communication
systems
- Real-time communication protocols for DT networks
- DT-enabled health applications
- Wireless communications for cyber-physical DT applications
- Security and privacy concepts in DT
- Quantum-enabled DT networks
- DT-assisted AI applications for smart cities
- Communication protocols for enabling DT deployment in real-world
applications
- AI applications of DT systems
- DT in Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing
- DT for enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Machine Type
Communications (mMTC), and Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications
(URLLC) applications
- DT for resource management and network optimization
- Connected DT networking systems for environmental sensing
- DT for precision agriculture, and industry 4.0 applications
- Real-world DT simulations, prototypes, and testbed demonstrations
