Digital Twin technology

Submission status

Submission deadline

A Digital Twin revolution is on the horizon. A Digital Twin is defined as “a set of virtual information constructs that mimics the structure, context and behaviour of an individual or unique physical asset, that is dynamically updated with data from its physical twin throughout its life-cycle, and that ultimately informs decisions that realize value.” (AIAA, Digital Twin: Definition & Value).

Originally born for aerospace applications, Digital Twins have now been employed in a variety of engineering sectors: from construction to automotive, from healthcare to aerospace, from software engineering to cyber physical systems and blockchains. This Collection will showcase interdisciplinary research and development in Digital Twin technology.
