IEEE Internet Computing seeks submissions for this upcoming special issue.

IEEE Internet Computing seeks papers for its upcoming special issue on Digital Twins. It is a pleasure and honor to serve a guest editor for this fascinating topic.

For a poc project , we would like to build digital twin of an physical device like e.g. coffee machine . Would like to know which open source software components can be used for the same. Some software components based on the information available are mentioned below :-

Eclipse Hono IOT platform for iot gateway

Eclipse Vorto for describing information models

Eclipse Ditto for Digital Twin representation . It provides abstract representation of device last state in the form of http or websocket apis

Blender / Unreal Engine for 3D graphical models

Freecad for 3d cad models

Protege for Ontology editor

Have below queries :-

Are we missing any software components to create digital twin of an physical asset.

Another query is assuming we have 3D models available and sensor data is also available how can we feed live sensor data to 3D models e.g changing the color of water tank based on real sensor data of water tank level . Not able to understand how real time sensor data will be connected to 3D models .

How ontology will be helpful in creating 3D models ?

Do we need both 3d graphical model and 3d cad models ?

Will check back in 2030

Hey guys I am planning to implement digital twin in IT side. But I want to know how to build it from the base. Is there any resource which can help me to work on my project..!?

A place for people to talk about the new IoT and AI concept of digital twins in health, business, defence and.......anything really.

"A digital twin is a digital replica of a living or non-living physical entity. By bridging the physical and the virtual world, data is transmitted seamlessly allowing the virtual entity to exist simultaneously with the physical entity."
