5th Workshop on Data Driven and AI-Enabled Digital Twin Networks and Applications
(TwinNetApp)
Workshop organized in conjunction with IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC) 2027
Call For Papers
Digital Twin (DT) technology is becoming a key component of next-generation communication networks by enabling real-time synchronization between physical systems and their virtual counterparts. Moving beyond conventional simulation, DTs provide real-time monitoring, predictive modelling, data-driven decision-making, and advanced what-if analysis. Their integration with emerging technologies, such as 5G/6G, Generative AI, Intelligent IoT, Edge/Fog Computing, and quantum technologies, further expands their potential.
In this context, the 5th TwinNetApp welcomes original research contributions on the design, implementation, and evaluation of DT-enabled applications. Bringing together researchers and industry professionals, the workshop provides a multidisciplinary environment to explore the role of DTs in developing sustainable and intelligent communication infrastructures.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Data-driven DT networks for real-time communication systems
- DT-enabled IoT applications
- DT in Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing
- Real-time communication protocols for DT networks
- Security and privacy in DT networks
- Quantum-enabled DT networks
- DT-assisted AI applications for smart cities
- Communication protocols for enabling DT deployment in real-world applications
- Energy-aware DT networks
- DT for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS)
- DT for enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC), and Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) applications
- DT for network optimization and resource management
- Real-world DT prototypes and testbed demonstrations
