Towards Sustainable Systems: Paving the Way with Digital Twins
Judith Michael
RWTH Aachen
Digital twins enable us to support the lifetime of complex cyber-physical systems (CPS) by combining models created during CPS engineering with data and models captured during CPS runtime. By connecting models with reality and real data, we can more easily assess the sustainability of complex, software-intensive systems. Realizing such approaches requires us to investigate economic, environmental, technical and social sustainability and consider their integration in digital twin models and services. In my talk, I will focus on our research on engineering digital twins for sustainability assessment of software systems and CPS using model-driven software engineering and software language engineering methods.
The talk is based on our current research within the German Cluster of Excellence “Internet of Production” (https://www.iop.rwth-aachen.de/cms/~gpfz/Produktionstechnik/?lidx=1), the DFG/ANR project Model-Based DevOps (MBDO) (https://mbdo.github.io/) as well as upcoming research initiatives (https://nextgen.rwth-aachen.de/).
