Abstract

The concept of the Digital Twin has attracted notable research attention in recent years and has emerged as a prominent theme at recent editions of the SOHOMA workshop. This paper aims to provide perspectives on past and future Digital Twin research within the SOHOMA context. The paper describes the evolution of the Digital Twin concept over the past decade of SOHOMA workshops and reviews the contributions in terms of functions, architectures and implementation technologies. Considering the future of Digital Twin research within the SOHOMA context, the paper identifies key enabling factors and challenges, and proposes a strategic research focus to promote future impact.
