The First Workshop on Industrial Metaverse and Digital Twins (IMDT' 24)
The workshop will be co-located with the Ninth ACM/IEEE Symposium on Edge Computing (SEC), December 4-7, 2024, in Rome, Italy.Call for Papers
The inaugural workshop on Industrial Metaverse and Digital Twins (IMDT'24) aims to convene researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to share and discuss latest developments at the intersection of Metaverse and Edge computing. The Industrial Metaverse promises groundbreaking solutions characterized by high-fidelity visualization, immersive experiences, and real-time collaboration for users disbursed around the globe. These solutions span a wide range of domains such as manufacturing, transportation, training, healthcare, and smart cities. However, the realization of these solutions requires researchers and practitioners to address and overcome challenges at the edge device (XR devices) and network levels. These challenges encompass scalability, interoperability, data management, latency, security, privacy, safety, and power consumption.
