Call for Papers

Leaders in the world’s digital twin sector are coming together from Aus/NZ, the United Kingdom, and North America to engage and collaborate by sharing their thought leadership on the digital twin revolution. Digital Twinning is a vast domain with broad applications and it is by nature multidisciplinary. It enables the next generation of analysis interconnecting various systems with a high degree of complexity. It benefits from historical, concurrent, and predictive analytics, as well as numerous subfields of simulation. It also benefits from a variety of scientific fields as its core components but also as part of the phenomena the Digital Twin aims to simulate. Hence, paper submissions from all allied disciplines are welcome. The model for the event is based on the successful GeoIgnite and LIKE Canada events. This entails no barrier for registration for participants. Everyone can claim a free ticket to the event ensuring the largest possible audience.

The Digital Twins 2024 conference will bring together leading researchers and practitioners with diverse yet highly integrated scientific and engineering backgrounds.

The main topics of the conference are below and will be prioritized for review and acceptance:

Transforming Finance with Digital Twins: Exploring the Opportunities and Challenges
Connected Digital Twins and Social-Technical Solutions
Advancing Digital Twins Governance: Best Practices and Standards
Foundational Models
Privacy Preserving/Enhancing Technologies

Here are additional allied areas and technical domains (this is not an exhaustive list):

Manuscript Format and Style (Writing Guide)

For the Digital Twins 2024 Conference we accept short and long papers. The former 3 to 4 pages (including references and appendices) and the latter 6 to 8 pages (including references and appendices). Please make sure to submit 2 versions of the paper, one anonymous and the other with author information (see the Title and Authorship Information section below for details).

To be considered for review, an extended abstract must include:

A working title that clearly identifies the conference objectives being addressed
A statement of the empirical or theoretical concern
A short summary locating the concern within a wider literature
A concise account of the empirical or theoretical-methodological approach
The main arguments of the paper and an indication of the supporting evidence
A statement of the main conclusions and their relevance to an international audience

Authors must use the templates provided above which enforce partially (if not in full) the following formatting guidelines.

Title and Authorship Information

The following information should be included: Paper title, Author and all co-author(s) names, Full institutional mailing addresses, e-mail addresses of author and all co-authors. When submitting manuscripts for potential publication in the conference proceedings, please submit an original editable file in one of the (.doc,.docx, .pdf) style files. All figures, images, tables, etc., should be embedded into the original file. All submitted full text articles should report original, previously unpublished research results and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Detailed instructions on preparing papers for submission can be found in the Paper Submission Instructions.

Abstract

The manuscript should contain an abstract. The abstract should be self-contained and citation-free.

Keywords

Add about four key words or phrases in alphabetical order, separated by commas.

Introduction

This section should be succinct, with no subheadings.

Acknowledgments

All acknowledgments (if any) should be included at the very end of the manuscript before the references and may include supporting grants, presentations, and so forth.

References

Authors are responsible for ensuring that the information in each reference is complete and accurate.
Please follow the guidelines within the template you choose from the available Templates above for references style and format.

Submission Procedure

Authors are invited to write their papers using the .docx or Overleaf LaTex templates brought above, and submit the resultant .docx or PDF documents, respectively, to the Academic Chair at digitaltwinconference@gmail.com. Make sure you submit the complete paper with filled authorship information, title, and affiliation section at the top of the first page of the templates. If you choose to use the Overleaf LaTex template and are therefore submitting the resultant PDF, make sure you send us 2 PDF copies, one with full authorship and affiliation information at the top and another without, for the double-blind review.
