Brief Bio
Romain Chassagne holds a PhD in applied mathematics and currently works at BRGM. He brings 14 years of experience in modeling and data assimilation, gained through roles in academia, as a research assistant professor, and in industry as a research scientist. His work spans various topics in geosciences (geothermal, CO2 storage, minerals, hydrogeology). Romain coordinates and leads tasks in several national research projects and serves as work package leader in two Horizon Europe. He is also an associate editor for the journal Computers & Geosciences. In his institution he coordinates digital twin dedicated program and serves as a member in different scientific committees in academia and industry.

SCOPE

A digital twin (DT) is a digital model of an intended or actual real-world physical product, system, or process that serves as the effectively indistinguishable digital counterpart of it for practical purposes, such as simulation, integration, what-if scenario, monitoring, and maintenance. DTs are used in several contexts and fields, such as business, healthcare, manufacturing, agriculture, and the management of natural resources. There are different contexts and approaches to designing DTs, without clear consensus on specific engineering processes. There are some gaps in the data and flow representation through digital twin components. Ontologies are a promising way for structuring data and flow. The aim of this special session is to present research or industrial efforts that utilize ontologies in DTs.  We strongly encourage real case study to be presented.

Authors can submit:
· Regular Paper, representing completed and validated research or use-case.
· Position Paper, portraying a short report of work in progress or an arguable opinion about an issue discussing ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research focused on one of the conference topic areas.
· Demonstration of prototype.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
  • Interoperability for Digital Twin
  • Ontologies for Supporting Communication Protocol on DT
  • Data Model including Ontologies
  • Ontologies for DT Physical Model
  • Ontologies for Workflow
  • Ontologies Reasoning and DT
  • Knowledge Graph for DT Data Model
  • Ontology Driven Model for DT
  • Cognitive DT
