IEEE DTPI 2022 will present the cutting-edge research and technical progress of the exploding field of digital twinning. The 2022 meeting will follow a distributed hybrid model with physical meetings and presentations in Boston, Ningbo, Guangzhou, and online/distributed hybrid as well. The conference brings together scholars and industrial practitioners to share scientific and technological advances as well as to gain a deeper understanding of creating digital twins and deriving parallel intelligence. DTPI’s particular topics also include the creation of viable standards, theory, practice, and various vertical applications of DTPI, including smart cities, industrial Internet, transportation, energy, robotics, manufacturing, healthcare, spectrum management, as well as the need to work synergistically with other technologies.

Submissions are invited in the following categories:

    Full papers (4 pages max) addressing relevant DTPI topics that will be peer-reviewed and, if accepted, presented at one of the conference venues (author’s choice: Boston, Guangzhou, distributed hybrid). Review, Tutorial and Vision papers are also welcome.
    Invited sessions, consisting of papers and/or extended abstracts to fill a two-hour block.
    Poster presentations, consisting of a lightly reviewed, single-paged abstract on topics relevant to DTPI.
    Industrial forum & exhibition (IF&E), consisting of tutorials, demonstrations, posters, workshops and talks targeting cutting-edge, industry-centric topics. Trade space available for discussions and demonstrations.

The main technical program will only include papers of the highest standard as selected by the TPC, in accordance with the IEEE guidelines. All manuscripts will be accepted with the understanding that the authors will present them at the DTPI Conference in one of the venues/formats. At least one author of an accepted paper will be required to register for the conference before uploading the final version. Accepted manuscripts will be presented either in oral or poster format. Accepted papers will be published in the online workshop proceedings. All papers and invited session proposals must be submitted through the conference website and conform to the policy found therein.
