WHY PARTICIPATE? * Expand Your Network: Connect with researchers, experts, and industry leaders from around the globe, forging valuable partnerships and collaborations. * Cutting-Edge Insights: Gain access to the latest advancements in network digital twin technologies and related fields. * Showcase Your Research: Present your work to a highly knowledgeable and engaged audience, facilitating constructive feedback and validation. * Publication Opportunities: Selected papers will be recommended for publication in reputable journals or conference proceedings. * Influence the Future: Shape the direction of network digital twin technologies and contribute to the betterment of interconnected systems worldwide. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit high-quality, original contributions for presentation at the TNT 2024 workshop. Technical papers can be of two types: * Full papers, up to 6 pages, excluding references and all other material. * Short papers, up to 4 pages, excluding references and all other material. Long papers are the more traditional form to present technical work. Long papers should emphasize not only novelty and vision, but execution and thoroughness of the contribution (design, evaluation). Short papers are the preferred vehicle for visionary, concept-type papers, or proof of concept papers whose description fits within a smaller number of pages. Papers submitted should describe original, previously unpublished research results, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Papers not meeting the length and formatting requirements or violating IEEE's guidelines on plagiarized content will be rejected without review. All submissions must be written in English and must use standard IEEE two-column conference template that can be downloaded from https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process and all manuscripts must be electronically submitted through JEMS at: https://jems3.sbc.org.br/noms_tnt2024 All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and indexed in IEEE Xplore digital library.
