In recent years, digital twins have been pervading different application domains – from manufacturing to healthcare – as an approach for virtualising different kinds of physical entities (things, products, machines). The dominant view developed in the literature so far is about the virtualisation of individual physical assets, in a closed-system perspective. In this paper, we introduce and explore a broader perspective that we call Web of Digital Twins (WoDT), in which the digital twin paradigm…

About Digital Twins, agents, and multiagent systems: a cross-fertilisation journey
TLDR
This paper relates DTs with agents and multiagent systems, as the latter are arguably the most rich abstractions available for the engineering of complex socio-technical and cyber-physical systems.
Digital twins and hybrid modelling for simulation of physiological variables and stroke risk
TLDR
A hybrid model combining mechanistic modelling and machine learning for the simulation of ischemic stroke is presented and a new model for blood pressure is developed and integrated with an existing multi-level and multi-timescale model for the development of type 2 diabetes.

On the Integration of Agents and Digital Twins in Healthcare
TLDR
This paper discusses the vision about agent-based digital twins, and presents a first case study, about the application of agent- based digital twins to the management of severe traumas in healthcare.
Enhancing Cognition for Digital Twins
TLDR
A novel concept, dubbed as Enhanced Cognitive Twin (ECT), is proposed in this paper as a way to introduce advanced cognitive capabilities to the DT artefact that enable supporting decisions, with the end goal to enable DTs to react to inner or outer stimuli.
Digital Twin in the IoT Context: A Survey on Technical Features, Scenarios, and Architectural Models
TLDR
This article analyses a set of possible evolution paths for the DT considering its possible usage as a major enabler for the softwarization process.
Internet of Things Ontology for Digital Twin in Cyber Physical Systems
TLDR
This work proposes an ontology to represent Digital Twin in the context of CPS and embedded systems and is implemented through a proposed architecture.
A Review of the Roles of Digital Twin in CPS-based Production Systems
Digital Twin Generation: Re-Conceptualizing Agent Systems for Behavior-Centered Cyber-Physical System Development
TLDR
This paper proposes to conceptualize agent-based design for behavior-based Digital twins through subject-oriented models that can be executed and, thus, increase the transparency at design and runtime.
A Decade in Hindsight: The Missing Bridge Between Multi-Agent Systems and the World Wide Web
TLDR
This work argues that the answer lies equally in a lack of practical use cases as well as the premature development and alignment of Web and agent technologies, and presents the vision for a new generation of autonomous systems on the Web, which is called hypermedia MAS.
Towards Actionable Cognitive Digital Twins for Manufacturing
TLDR
A new ontology is presented that models a shop-floor DT, capturing background knowledge regarding shop- floor assets and actors, data sources, algorithms and decision-making opportunities as well as their relations and instantiated to a KG to provide meaningful context to data and algorithm outcomes, enhancing decision- making suggestions.
Application-Driven Network-Aware Digital Twin Management in Industrial Edge Environments
TLDR
This article proposes the Application-driven digital twin networking middleware with the twofold objective of simplifying the interaction among heterogeneous devices by allowing DTs to exploit IP-based protocols instead of specialized industrial ones and to enhance packet content expressiveness, by enriching data via well-defined standards.
Digital Twin: Mitigating Unpredictable, Undesirable Emergent Behavior in Complex Systems
Systems do not simply pop into existence. They progress through lifecycle phases of creation, production, operations, and disposal. The issues leading to undesirable and unpredicted emergent behavior…
