The 1st International Workshop on Digital Twins for Systems Dependability, Resilience, and Security (DT4DRS) seeks to bring together researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to delve into the revolutionary potential of DTs in enhancing these critical quality attributes across diverse domains.
The Workshop will cover a range of topics, including but not limited to:
- Development and validation of DT frameworks for CPS dependability;
- Predictive DT models to strengthen CPS resilience;
- Cybersecurity integration in DT-based CPS environments;
- Fault detection and recovery strategies in DT-driven CPSs;
- Adaptive and autonomous decision-making through DTs;
- Safeguarding data privacy and integrity in DT-enhanced CPSs;
- DT-driven approaches for improving CPS resilience;
- DT frameworks for monitoring and securing critical CPS infrastructures;
- Real-time risk assessment through DT-based simulations;
- Challenges of integrating DTs in distributed CPS environments;
- Role of DTs in CPS regulatory and ethical compliance;
- Trust management and auditability in DT-CPS ecosystems;
- Testing and validation of DT models for CPS applications;
- Case studies on DT applications in dependable and resilient CPSs.
Through these focus areas, DT4DRS aims to advance research and innovation in DTs, fostering collaboration to address the growing challenges of modern Cyber-Physical Systems while enhancing their dependability, resilience, and security. DT4DRS will be followed by a journal special issue (TBD) open to both extended versions of papers accepted at the workshop and new submissions from the broader community.
Important Dates
Submission 31st March, 2025 (AoE) 15th April, 2025 (AoE)
Notification 30th April, 2025
Camera Ready 10th May, 2025
Submissions
DT4DSR welcomes both research papers reporting results from mature work, and more speculative papers describing new ideas with preliminary exploratory work. Papers reporting industry experiences, case studies, and datasets will also be encouraged. We accept submissions in the following formats:
- Regular research papers (up to 8 pages): Original, high-quality, and unpublished research addressing theoretical or experimental advancements in using DTs to enhance the dependability, resilience, and security of CPSs.
- Short Papers (up to 4 pages): Preliminary results, focused case studies, or detailed examinations of specific aspects related to DTs in improving the dependability, resilience, and security of CPSs.
The review process will adhere to a double-blind format, requiring authors to anonymize their submissions. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. Submissions must adhere to the IEEE Computer Society camera-ready 8.5”x11” two-column camera-ready format (using a 10-point font on 12-point single-spaced leading) as implemented by the LaTeX/Word templates available at the IEEE conference template page: https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
Accepted papers will be published in the DSN-W supplement to the DSN Proceedings and made available on IEEE Xplore.
