Workshop on Digital Twin Ecosystems & Applications
2nd International Workshop on Digital Twin Ecosystems & Applications
In conjunction with
IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications 2026
March 16-20, 2026
CNR Research Area
Pisa, Italy
Recent trends in computer science have promoted new ways to think about software at both design time and run time. Next-generation intelligent pervasive systems will be modelled as ecosystems of Digital Twins (DTs), that are the virtual counterparts of physical objects. Digital Twins have emerged as a revolutionary approach to managing and optimising the lifecycle of physical assets in pervasive computing applications. By creating a digital counterpart, that mirrors a physical entity or process and encapsulates computational intelligence or simulation tools, stakeholders can continuously monitor, analyse, and predict the behaviour of the real-world counterpart in real time. This continuous feedback loop enables enhanced decision-making, efficiency improvements, and proactive maintenance, thereby driving innovation and competitiveness in various industries. In particular, the convergence of IoT, AI, and big data analytics has accelerated the development and adoption of DTs in several application domains. IoT devices provide the necessary sensory input, AI offers advanced data processing, reasoning and decision-making capabilities, and big data analytics facilitates the handling of large volumes of data generated by physical and digital entities. Moreover, different simulation techniques are exploited in this context, being complementary approaches that can be integrated as tools with analytics and predictive properties. This synergy is critical in realising the full potential of Digital Twins, making it possible to create highly responsive, intelligent, and autonomous systems. As such, they are becoming increasingly vital in a wide range of sectors, from manufacturing to the energy industry, healthcare, and transportation.
