Call for Papers

Digital Twin, as a recent iconic phrases of fashions, has been coined and broadened somewhat in that it is now being extensively applied, or rather used, to characterize a variety of digital simulation models that run alongside real-time processes that pertain to social and economic systems as well as physical systems since its inception. It is even conceivable that latency between when data is received from the basic system and when the users closest to the system can use is often short enough to enable good corrective actions. Progress towards Digital Twin will surely enable us to gain ever deeper insights into the nature of reality and its virtual form.

The 2026 IEEE International Conference on Digital Twin will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations on Digital Twin, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future of Digital Twin. We seek submissions of papers which invent new techniques, introduce innovative methodologies, and propose new research directions in advanced digital twin theories, methods, implementations, and applications.

Topics of Interest

The topics include (but are not limited to):

Fundamentals, concepts and theories
Architecture, standards and frameworks
Methodology, lifecycle and processes management
Model-based and data-driven Digital Twin engineering
Simulation based approach and technologies
Digital Twin interaction, communication, and interoperability
Digital Twin Networks and applications
AI and Generative AI for Digital Twin
User interface for Digital Twin
Security and Privacy for Digital Twin
Digital Twin Systems and Applications

Types of Submissions

The conference welcomes high-quality, original research contributions that advance the scientific and technological foundations of the smart world. Authors are invited to submit their work in one of the following categories:

Full Papers

6 pages

Complete research studies containing significant findings, rigorous methodology, and comprehensive experimental or theoretical results.

Short Papers

4 pages

Concise contributions reporting promising early results, innovative ideas, or ongoing work that is expected to stimulate discussion and further development.

Poster & Demo Papers

2 pages

Visual or interactive presentations showcasing prototypes, systems, applications, or early research results that highlight practical innovations and emerging technologies.

Publication and Indexing

All accepted and presented papers (full, short, and poster/demo) will be considered for the conference proceedings and indexing in major repositories.
