The word “metaverse” is a portmanteau of the prefix “meta” (meaning beyond) and “universe”. Technically, a metaverse is a virtual space that allows people to have various virtual experiences, socialize, learn, collaborate, and play. The metaverse now even connects to our physical world via the Internet of Things and Digital Twin technologies.

Submitted papers in this workshop are expected to focus on state-of-the-art research in various aspects of Metaverse services using IoT and Digital Twin platforms from academics and industry viewpoints. The aim of this workshop is thus to offer a venue where researchers from academia and industry can publish premier articles on the recent advances in theory, application, and implementation of the Metaverse concepts using IoT and Digital Twin platforms.

Papers describing technologies and ideas that can be used in IoT and Digital Twin platforms for Metaverse are also welcome. The workshop and its topics are timely and highly relevant to creating a Metaverse ecosystem.

Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

• IoT platforms for Metaverse
• Digital Twin platforms for Metaverse
• Sensor technologies and platforms for Metaverse
• Global standardization activities for Metaverse (e.g., oneM2M, 3GPP, ITU-T, IETF)
• Common data model for Metaverse
• Deployment options of various platforms (IoT, Smart City, Digital Twin) for Metaverse
• Data management for Metaverse services
• Experiences and field trials of Metaverse with IoT and Digital Twin
• Security, trust, privacy and identity in the Metaverse
• Heterogeneous platforms interworking for Metaverse
• Data optimization in Metaverse
• Interoperability between Metaverse platforms
• AI for Digital Twin and Metaverse
• Synchronization of physical world and virtual world
• Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) for Metaverse
• 6G for Digital Twin and Metaverse
