[icnrg] CFP: Workshop on "Digital Twin Modelling, Orchestration and Development in the 6G era" in conjunction with IEEE MeditCom, 8-11 July 2024, Madrid, Spain

[Marica Amadeo <[e-mail]>]

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to share the following CFP since I think it can be of interest
for the ICNRG Community.
The topics of interest include the applicability of ICN to the Digital Twin
realm, e.g., to deploy service-centric inter-twin communications.

Kind regards,
Marica

*** Scope ***

To effectively support future 6G applications, the research community is
promoting the Digital Twin (DT) technology. By creating the virtual
representation of the elements, dynamics and services of physical systems,
including objects and humans, DTs are expected to provide crucial support
to the ambitious Sixth-generation (6G) applications, like Extended Reality
(XR), autonomous driving and remote healthcare.
However, to provide such composite and complex applications, the research
community on DTs have to face major research challenges, such as the
definition of expressive DT representation models to manage the DTs’
dynamic nature and the design of scalable autonomous search engine among a
huge number of DTs, with intensive interactions, heterogeneous
communications, and billions of services.
Moreover, based on the distinct requirements of the applications, different
orchestration and deployment mechanisms can be envisioned.
DTs are typically hosted in remote Cloud data centers to provide
compute-intensive services but they can also migrate at the network edge to
provide ultra-low-latency services and quickly interact with their real
counterpart. In this context, it becomes crucial to provide optimal DT
service placement in the presence of multiple edge nodes with distinct
computation and storage capabilities and investigate caching policies to
reuse the available DT services that can be offered to distinct clients.
So far, the literature has mainly focused on application-specific solutions
for DTs, e.g., in the manufacturing field, but new holistic approaches can
be devised in 6G environments. For example, revolutionary networking
paradigms, like the Social Internet of Things (SIoT), can foster
trustworthy and effective DT service discovery; service-centric
communications, implemented by Information-Centric Networking (ICN)
architectures, can facilitate the orchestration of DT at the edge and their
service reuse.
