Special Session at IJCNN, “Digital Twinning in Smart Applications”

January 21st, 2025 Daniela Lopez de Luise
“>*********On-site and Virtual (Remote) Attendance*********

Call for Papers –  “Digital Twinning in Smart Applications”

At the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks

June 30 – July 5, 2025 Rome, Italy

Submission deadline: January 15, 2025  January 30, 2025 

About The Special Session
============================================

The advent of digital twins has revolutionized the simulation and optimization of real-world scenarios. Digital twins are comparable virtual replicas of real-world systems, assets, or processes that allow for real-time optimization, simulation, and monitoring. Through a complete or semi-complete digital replication of a physical object, they provide performance analysis, problem prediction, and scenario testing without affecting the real system. When combined with deep learning, these virtual replicas gain the ability to learn from extensive data, adapt to changing conditions, and predict future states with exceptional precision. This integration enables digital twins to not only reflect their physical counterparts but also anticipate issues, enhance performance, and autonomously support decision-making processes. The applications are extensive: in manufacturing, it leads to smart factories where production lines optimize themselves for efficiency; in healthcare, patient-specific digital twins can forecast health trajectories and tailor treatments; in urban planning, city-wide digital twins can model traffic and energy use to improve sustainability. Deep learning allows digital twins to become dynamic entities that change in tandem with their physical counterparts, creating interesting prospects for innovation in a variety of research and application areas.

Topics
============================================
The topics of interest are inspired by the themes above and include, but are not limited to: 
• Healthcare and Personalized Medicine
• Predictive Maintenance and Anomaly Detection
• Smart Agriculture, Autonomous Systems and Robotics, Smart Cities and Infrastructure Management, Simulation and Virtual Environments, as well as Supply Chain Optimization
• Scalability and Federated Learning for Distributed Digital Twins
• Natural Language Processing for Human-Digital Twin Interaction
• Deep Learning in Digital Twin Cybersecurity and Privacy-Preserving Deep Learning
• Data Fusion and Multi-modal Learning into Digital Twin systems
• Generative Models for Synthetic Data Generation in Digital Twins
• Continuous Learning and Adaptation in Digital Twins
• Explainable AI (XAI) for Digital Twins
• Transfer Learning for Digital Twin Customization
Submission Information
============================================

Manuscripts related to the Special Session shall be submitted through the CMT paper submission website as a regular paper (Main Track) by selecting this special session “Digital Twinning in Smart Applications” as primary Subject Area. All submitted papers will be reviewed in the same process as the regular papers. Accepted contributions will be part of the conference proceedings.
In order to prepare your submission, please follow the guidelines of the main conference at https://2025.ijcnn.org/authors/initial-author-instructions.

RSS2025 – LA wildfires and “soft” extension of the RSS 2025 submission deadline

January 21st, 2025 Daniela Lopez de Luise
Dear Robotics Colleagues,
As you know, RSS 2025 will be held in Los Angeles this June. The entire organizing team, including our amazing local organizers at USC, has been devastated by the terrible news of the LA wildfires. Our thoughts are with the people, families, and communities impacted by this disaster.In light of these events and as a gesture of support for the robotics researchers in the area, we have decided to adjust the RSS 2025 paper submission timeline. Specifically, we will allow authors to edit their initial submissions until the supplementary material deadline on January 31.We still require researchers to submit their title/abstract by January 17, and to submit a semi-complete paper by the January 24 deadline, but we will allow authors to keep editing the pdf of the paper until January 31. The initial submission should be semi-complete, such that we can start assigning area chairs and reviewers  (and issuing initial desk-rejections), but hopefully this “soft” extension should give the authors extra time to polish their papers. Also note that the title, abstract, authors’ list, and keywords cannot be changed after January 24 (the authors can only update the pdf).The revised timeline is as follows:
  •  Abstract deadline: January 17th, 11:59PM AoE
  • Initial paper deadline: January 24th, 11:59PM AoE (this requires a semi-complete pdf of the paper, final title and abstract)
  • Final pdf submission deadline: January 31st, 11:59PM AoE
  • Supplementary material submission deadline: January 31st, 11:59PM AoE
We know that this extension provides just a little help for the folks impacted by the wildfires. Nevertheless, we felt it was important for RSS to stand in solidarity with the LA community that will so generously host us this June. While we recognize that this adjustment adds complexity to the review process, we believe it is the right thing to do.If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the RSS 2025 Program Chair at lcarlone@mit.edu.Take care, and best of luck with your RSS submissions!Warm regards,The RSS 2025 Organizing Team
