Abstract: Over the past decade, cyber-physical systems (CPS) have transformed our daily lives by seamlessly integrating computational intelligence into physical world. The synergy between digital twin and big data analytics emerges as a pivotal force that drives smart network operations and maintenance for CPS. Network digital twin provides a dynamic, high-fidelity virtual model of physical networks, while big data techniques offer powerful tools to efficiently process large volumes of network data. This talk will delve into the transformative potential of this synergy in the design, operation, and optimization of future networking systems. Our vision focuses on harnessing the collective power of digital twin and big data in network analytics and modelling, aiming to facilitate real-time system monitoring, proactive troubleshooting, automated optimization, and intelligent decision-making. This talk will further present cutting-edge methodologies in network big data modelling, real-time incremental data analytics, and cost-effective distributed computing platforms, to achieve accurate and timely anomaly detection and predictive analysis for network digital twin, towards more intelligent, secure, reliable and responsive future CPS.
