2nd International Workshop on Digital Twin Engineering (DTE) 2023

DTE2023


Engineering & Computer Science (General) Software Systems



As to the growing interest in digital twins for planning and operating long-living cyber-physical assets, the modeling community faces new challenges in developing applicable and profitable methodologies for engineering and maintaining these virtual replicas of cyber-physical assets. However, the application of digital twins is not limited to industrial domains; they are also capable of exploring and defining the most effective interventions for large businesses and societal systems to achieve their operational, economic, and sustainability-related objectives (e.g., Gemini principles). The difficulty in conceiving a digital twin lies in its inherent complexity, which already necessitates advanced engineering. A solution is to work closely with industrial and economic stakeholders to develop application scenarios that drive the development of digital twins by providing a foundation for requirements elicitation. In this manner, future attempts to conceive digital twins will not fall prey to the curse of complexity, as COTS solutions frankly cannot do the job.
