Workshops

IEEE DTPI 2023 is an opportunity to share, discuss, and witness research results across all technical areas of Digital Twins and Parallel Intelligence research.

Workshops

  • 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.
  • Radio Applications of Digital Twins
    • Speaker: Serhat Tadik, University of Central Florida
    • 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.
  • Building Your Human Digital Twin (HDT): A Modeling and Simulation Transdisciplinary Approach from Theory to Design, Development, and Implementation
    • Organizers: Dr. Megan Wiedbusch (University of Central Florida), Dr. Roger Azevedo (University of Central Florida), Dr. Daryn Dever (University of Central Florida), Dr. Crystal Maraj (University of Central Florida), Dr. Grace Bochenek (University of Central Florida)
    • Speakers: Dr. Soheil Sabari (University of Central Florida), Dr. Carolina Cruz-Neira (University of Central Florida), Dr. Michael Cox, Dr. Roger Azevedo (University of Central Florida)
    • Panel: Dr Crystal Maraj (University of Central Florida), Dr. Bari Hoffman (University of Central Florida), Assistant Superintendent Shawn Gard-Harrold (Seminole County Public Schools, Florida), Dr. Matthew Hackett (University of Central Florida), Emily Mills
    • Description: The scope of this workshop includes the theoretical, conceptual, methodological, analytical, and applied exploration around HDTs as both research tools and application tools for specified domains, contexts, and technologies. We welcome perspectives across all domains for contributions to developing the research agenda and HDT roadmap the workshop will focus on developing.
  • Smart Airport, Digital Twin, and Metaverse Workshop
    • Organizer: Dr. Soheil Sabri, University of Central Florida
    • Speakers: Dr. Soheil Sabri (University of Central Florida), Dr. Kostas Alexandridis(Orange County Public Works), Kelly Watt (DFW Airport), Doug Migliori (Vantiq)
    • Panel: Experts in digital twins, airports, and aviation
      • Moderator: Dan Isaacs, Digital Twin Consortium®
      • Panalists: Dr. Michael Grieves (University of Central Florida), Dr. Kostas Alexandridis (Orange County Public Works), Kelly Watt (DFW Airport), Doug Migliori (Vantiq)
    • Description: In an era of rapid digital modernization and technological advancement, “Smart Infrastructure” has gained significant attention. Within this broader context, Digital Twins, Metaverse, and Smart Airports are emerging as transformative elements that can reshape the digital landscape and the aviation industry. This panel discussion proposal explores the symbiotic relationship between Digital Twins, Metaverse, and the future of airport design and operation, exploring how they can collaborate to create more efficient, sustainable, and resilient critical infrastructures.
