The synchronized virtual replication of physical objects from the real 
world within the “Metaverse” is happening through innovative 
technologies such as VR/XR and Digital Twins. The new frontier of the 
Metaverse is to reproduce real scenes with the digital reconstruction of 
objects, reflecting at the same time their behavioral and physical 
properties, integrated with new features.

The design and integration of Digital Twins into the Metaverse represent 
a new open field of research that aims at the evolution of a new way of 
conceiving the world. The creation of Smart Scenes integrated with the 
Digital Twin models can be used in many fields, such as training, 
Industry 4.0, or Health, to name a few. A main problem faced in the 
creation and use of these applications involves the need for a 
high-level quantity of physical resources for the processing of the 
Digital Twin with the associated textures and metadata.

The new challenge is to create Optimized Smart Scenes, safely integrated 
into the Metaverse based on the Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing and Distributed 
Network Systems paradigms. Users must have a digital identity before 
accessing the Smart Scenes and must follow the ethical rules for 
establishing social relationships within the Metaverse.

Aim of the workshop

The workshop aims to disseminate publishable and applicable results, 
promoting discussions and collaborations, and to identify future 
research directions for Digital Twins and Metaverse.

Topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

- Digital-Twins Life Cycle;
- Optimized Framework Definition for Digital Twins;
- Cooperation and Interaction between Digital Twins and Humans in Metaverse;
- Practical validation and case studies of Digital Twins in Metaverse;
- Privacy and Security Issues and Opportunities;
- Digital Twin as a Service;
- Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing Solutions for Optimized Smart Scene with DT 
in Metaverse;
- Real-World Deployments and Experimentations of digital twins;
- Distributed Network Solution for Optimized Smart Scenes.

Paper Templates
IEEE Paper templates are available in MS Word 2003 and LaTex. All 
submissions must use US 8.5?11 letter page format.
