CfP Semantic Tech & Digital Twins workshop

CFP International Workshop on Semantic Digital Twins at ESWC 2020 




International Workshop on Semantic Digital Twins (SeDiT 2020) 

Co-located with the 16th European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2020)
Heraklion, Crete, Greece - 31 May 2020

SEDiT2020 welcomes the submission of original research and application papers dealing with all aspects of applying semantic technologies to the use of digital twins. We encourage theoretical, methodological, empirical, and applications papers. Submitted papers should describe original work. 
We strongly encourage and appreciate the submission of papers incorporating links to demos and/or software source code.

The concept of digital twin, as a virtual replica of a physical entity, has gained traction recently in a range of domains such as industry, construction, energy, health or transport. Digital Twins can be used to view the status of the twinned physical object, without the need to interrogate the object itself. The digital twin can be queried by other software without the need to query the device itself thus relieving pressure on devices, which typically have very limited computational capabilities. Digital twins can also be used for monitoring and diagnostics to optimize device performance without impacting on the physical device. 

Digital twins require unambiguous descriptions of both the entity and its digital counterpart, as well as the ability to integrate data from heterogeneous sources of information (including real-time data) and to interact with the physical world. Given these requirements, semantic technologies will play a significant role in bringing digital twins to reality. 

The aims of the SeDIT workshop are twofold. Firstly, to initiate discussion about current trends and future challenges of semantic digital twins. Secondly, to support communication and collaboration with the goal of aligning the various efforts within the community and accelerating innovation in all the associated fields.
