Time (EDT)	Session
8:00 – 9:00 AM	Registration (outside Celestial Ballroom C) Coffee and Continental Breakfast (Celestial Ballroom Salon D&E)
9:00 – 9:15 AM	Welcome Remarks (Celestial Ballroom C) Speaker: Dr. Gisele Bennett, MEPSS LLC
9:15 – 10:00 AM	Evolution of the Intelligent Digital Twin Speaker: Dan Isaacs, Digital Twin Consortium^®
10:00 – 10:15 AM	Break (Celestial Ballroom Salon D&E)
10:15 – 11:00 AM	Digital Spectrum Twinning Speaker: Dr. Gregory Durgin, Georgia Tech Description: This tutorial will explore the use of Digital Spectrum Twins and their various applications for sharing spectrum in future systems such as Citizens Broadband Radio Services (CBRS) and National Radio Dynamic Zones (NRDZ). This will be a survey for those new to both the digital twin concept and the emerging issues of next-generation radio spectrum management.
11:00 AM- 12:00 PM	Radio Applications of Digital Twins Speaker: Serhat Tadik, Georgia Tech Description: This workshop outlines the components of a digital spectrum twin (DST) and potential application maps that can inform automated or enhanced spectrum management decisions. The DST is fundamentally a map and image database, with environmental, measurement, and prediction maps that allow parallel intelligence operations to generate useful information using aggregating rules that operate on the twin. We demonstrate several application maps generated from measured data collections and propagation modeling associated with the POWDER platform in Salt Lake City, Utah. In total, this work provides a blueprint for generating similar DSTs in any other radio bands and regions of the world.
