CALL FOR PAPERS

In the beyond-5G and 6G era, complex real-world digital twins (DTs) are expected to emerge, driving the digital transformation of industry and society. DT integration with advanced wireless networks will further accelerate this shift by enabling seamless bi-directional information flow between the cyber and physical worlds, fostering a more interconnected digital ecosystem, and supporting innovative applications across diverse domains.

DTs provide high-fidelity platforms that mirror real-world network behavior, allowing operators to anticipate loads, identify potential failures, and evaluate new configurations before deployment. This predictive capability improves the efficiency, reliability, and scalability of NextG wireless networks while significantly reducing the time and cost of planning and operation.

This full-day workshop seeks to bring together researchers and experts from academia, industry, and governmental agencies to address key challenges in critical dimensions at the intersection of DTs and advanced wireless network technologies. We especially encourage paper, poster, and demo submissions showcasing DT experimental platforms, prototypes, and real-world applications.

Suitable topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Wireless technologies supporting digital twins
  • The creation of digital twins over wireless networks
  • Networking technologies for heterogeneous digital twins
  • Open interface and interoperability across digital twins
  • Novel digital twin applications in wireless networks
  • AI-driven applications and analytics from digital twins
  • AI/ML for digital twin construction and operation
  • Digital twin-enhanced wireless network design
  • Digital twin-enabled smart environments
  • Real-time digital twin operation and synchronization
  • Theory and standardization for digital twins over wireless networks
  • Federated and distributed digital twins over wireless networks
    •

    The workshop accepts only original and previously unpublished papers. All submissions must be double-blind and formatted in standard ACM camera-ready format (double-column, 10pt font). Papers must not exceed 6 pages in length for technical papers (with the option of 2 extra pages at a cost per extra page) and 2 pages in length for demo papers, including references. All submitted papers in PDF format will go through a peer review process.
