Call for Papers: Model Driven Engineering for Digital Twins

The International Journal on Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM) has issued a Call for Papers for a special issue of the journal with the theme of “Model Driven Engineering for Digital Twins”. Digital Twins are virtual, digital representations of real-world systems or objects that are kept in sync with data from the real-world system and can be used for advanced analysis, predictive exploration, control, and (semi-) automated transformation of these systems and objects.

This themed edition of SoSyM, published by Springer, aims to provide a platform for Digital Twin researchers and practitioners to report emerging results, evidence of success and good practice, and to outline roadmaps to deliver high-quality Digital Twins using Model Driven Engineering.

Scientifically rigorous papers are sought for topics of interest including:

• Applying proven results from model driven engineering of software systems to Digital Twin development.

• Building industry-scale Digital Twins.

• The integration of modeling with Digital Twin technologies such as simulation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, control theory, human behavior (psychology and sociology), and uncertainty.

• An MDE-based Digital Twin Syllabus.

• Digital Twins for DevOps.

• Case studies, research roadmaps, experience reports, and comparisons. Deadlines for this opportunity are:

• Intent to submit: 30 June 2023

• Paper submission: 4 August 2023

• Notification: 5 January 2024
