Workshop Overview
The general advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) technology have led to the emergence of new applications that seamlessly blend the physical and digital worlds. Notwithstanding this trend, there are still open issues. A major one, due to the heterogeneity of the several models involved, is dealing with the complexity of the physical world to develop and deploy intelligent services that continuously perceive and learn from data coming from the environment. The idea gained traction among both academic institutions and industry players, revitalizing the Digital Twin technology that enables the creation of virtual replicas of physical objects by mirroring their properties, data,, and behaviors and enabling new intelligent and augmented functionalities such as learning, modeling, simulation, and cognitive capabilities.
We believe that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will transform the field of Digital Twin technology by enabling the creation of intelligent virtual replicas that may offer smart services and lead to adaptive AI in cyber-physical environments.
Digital Twin and cyber-physical systems can be enhanced with AI in several ways since AI enables real-time monitoring and control of physical systems with the possibility of delivering intelligent services with applications in several domains. At the same time, incorporating machine learning models into digital twin systems can be critical when monitoring or controlling critical systems. Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) approaches are attracting increasing interest to ensure that intelligent models are deployed robustly and reliably, especially when exploiting Continual Learning or Reinforcement Learning techniques.
The workshop aims to bring together experts in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Digital Twin technology, and Cyber-Physical systems to explore the latest developments and best practices in the use of AI-based digital twins for a wide range of cyber-physical services and applications.
