SCOPE

Digital Twin Engineering emphasizes the rigorous modeling of physical, cyber, and socio-economic systems through virtual replicas, facilitating their simulation, analysis, and optimization. This special session will highlight advanced approaches to digital twin modeling, including multi-physics simulations, system dynamics, and hybrid models that integrate both physical and data-driven representations. Key areas of exploration include the challenges of achieving accurate real-time synchronization between models and physical systems, leveraging AI for adaptive modeling, and validating these models for industrial and socio-economic applications. By advancing digital twin modeling methodologies, the session aims to foster innovations that improve system design, operational efficiency, and predictive capabilities across sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, and urban infrastructure.
