The 3rd edition of the Engineering Digital Twins Conference (EDTConf) features the Industrial track, aimed specifically at bringing together industrial practitioners and researchers, and sharing the recent industrial solutions, challenges, ideas and approaches with a wider research community. The Industrial track invites contributions that describe advances in the industry and industry-oriented academic work.
The Industrial track follows the general topics of the EDTConf, in addition focusing on, but not being limited to, the following:
- New or unsolved research challenges derived from practical problems.
- Success or failure reports, describing challenges and lessons learned.
- Case study implementation reports and/or practical solutions with empirical evidence.
- Surveys and critical analyses of real-world challenges.
- Practice-oriented methods, techniques and tools.
- Tutorial- or demonstration-oriented papers.
There are two ways to contribute to the Industrial track: full papers and talks.
Extended abstracts (max 4+1 pages)
The industrial papers, submitted as extended abstracts, follow the general guidelines for scientific contributions, while having an industrial focus, as stated above. Extended abstracts will be evaluated based on their relevance to the EDTConf topics of interest, industrial relevance, originality, soundness, empirical and/or practical validation, quality and consistency of presentation.
Extended abstracts must not be previously published or under review at other venues. Accepted abstracts will be included in the EDTConf proceedings.
Industrial talks (max 2 pages)
Proposals for industrial talks that report on topics of interest can be submitted to the Industrial track for presentation at the conference. Proposals should describe the main content of the talk, the key points to be discussed and the relevance of the talk to the EDTConf community.
There are no restrictions on previous publications: proposals and corresponding talks can be based on works that were previously published in other venues, or present previously unpublished work. Talks will be given to the EDTConf audience during the conference. Talk proposals will not be included in the EDTConf proceedings.
Submission guidelines
EDTConf 2026 Industrial Track follows a single-anonymous review process in which author names are identified to reviewers and do not need to be removed from the paper. Papers must be submitted electronically through the MODELS 2026 EasyChair webpage (link to be announced).
Papers must not exceed 4 pages for the main text, including all figures, tables, appendices, etc. One more page containing only references are permitted. All submissions must be in PDF format. The page limit is strict; it will not be possible to purchase additional pages at any stage of the process.
Formatting instructions are available at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template for both LaTeX and Word users. LaTeX users must use the provided acmart.cls and ACM-Reference-Format.bst without modification, enable the conference format in the preamble of the document (i.e., \documentclass[sigconf,review]{acmart}), and use the ACM reference format for the bibliography (i.e., \bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format}). The review option adds line numbers, thereby allowing referees to refer to specific lines in their comments.
Submission must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere while under consideration. Submissions that do not adhere to the stated page limits or violate the formatting guidelines will be desk-rejected without review. Accepted papers will be published in the conference companion proceedings of MODELS 2026 published by ACM.
