[Announcements] [IEEE-IoT-WorldForum] Special Session CfP - Pervasive Digital Twins in the Era of Web of Things

[Marco Picone]

Dear Authors,

Hope this message finds you well. We would like to invite you to contribute
a paper to the “Pervasive Digital Twins in the Era of Web of Things”
Special Session of the 8th IEEE World Forum on Internet of Things.

Brief description:

During the past decade, due to the dynamic evolution in the Internet of
Things (IoT) domain, several advancements opened up the possibility of a
more effective merging between the physical and the cyber worlds.
Furthermore, the need to support more open systems and higher
interoperability among devices, services, and users led to the development
of the concept of the Web of Things (WoT) and the wide-spread adoption of
Web approaches to overcome the massive fragmentation and heterogeneity of
the network layer in terms of protocols, data formats and closed platforms.

This dynamic and challenging scenario became relevant both in Academia and
Industry, revitalizing the concept of Digital Twins (DT) in order to shape
and deploy virtual synchronized replicas of physical objects. They are
moving fast towards a widespread adoption and diffusion beyond industrial
contexts where they are rooted, as a general way to bridge the physical
space and cyberspace.  This challenging pervasive evolution calls for new
software architectures, network protocols and interoperable platforms,
featuring levels of flexibility beyond the ones provided by the solutions
available in the state of the art, for example investigating how the WoT
can be adopted in the DT space to support these challenges.

This Special Session aims to provide a forum that brings together authors
from the research and academic communities, standardization bodies, and
industrial companies to meet and exchange ideas on recent research,
challenges, future directions, and application design for DTs, IoT and Web
of Things technologies in multiple application scenarios and use cases.
