On January 14, 2025, NIST held the second of three stakeholder workshops in its ongoing series on Digital Twins, building upon the initial workshop held in October 2024. This workshop centered on advancing the conversation about standards and infrastructure required to support Digital Twin ecosystems, with a focus on:
- Key Components of Digital Twin Ecosystems
- Barriers to Interoperability
- Sustainability across the Digital Twin Lifecycle
The event featured a keynote address from Greg Porter, Principal Solutions Architect at Sev1Tech, and panel discussions with representatives from commercial enterprises and standards organizations. Participants actively engaged in breakout sessions, providing detailed insights into current ecosystems and identifying critical needs for future development. Thank you to all attendees for their valuable contributions; these important discussions sill continue during the third workshop in late April 2025. This upcoming workshop will spotlight Digital Twin Trust and Security, with a particular focus on Verification, Validation, and Uncertainty Quantification (VVUQ). Once the agenda and speakers are finalized, NIST will share registration details for this virtual event.
NIST is committed to producing actionable insights and supporting the evolution of Digital Twin technologies. Summary reports from each workshop, as well as a comprehensive final report, are planned. The October workshop summary is nearing approval for publication and will be available soon. Notes and feedback from the January workshop are currently being compiled into a summary report.
