Abstract

Digital Twins (DTs) serve as the backbone of Industry 4.0, offering virtual representations of actual systems, enabling accurate simulations, analysis, and control. These representations help in predicting system behaviour, facilitating multiple real-time tests, and reducing risks and costs while identifying optimization areas. DTs meld cyber and physical realms, accelerating the design and modelling of sustainable innovations. Despite their potential, the complexity of DTs presents challenges in their industrial application. We sketch here an approach to build an adaptable and trustable framework for building and operating DT systems, which is the basis for the academia-industry project A Digital Twin Framework for Dynamic and Robust Distributed Systems (D-RODS). D-RODS aims to address the challenges above, aiming to advance industrial digitalization and targeting areas like system efficiency, incorporating AI and verification techniques with formal support.
