A digital twin is a digital replica of a physical entity to which it is remotely connected. A digital twin can provide a rich representation of the corresponding physical entity and enables sophisticated control for various purposes. Although the concept of the digital twin is largely known, designing digital twins based systems has not yet been fully explored. In practice, digital twins can be applied in different ways leading to different architectural designs. To guide the architecture design process, we provide a pattern-oriented approach for architecting digital twin-based Internet of Things (IoT) systems. To this end, we propose a catalog of digital twin architecture design patterns that can be reused in the broad context of systems engineering. The patterns are described using the well-known documentation template and support the various phases in the systems engineering life cycle process. For illustrating the application of digital twin patterns, we adopt a case study in the agriculture and food domain.

With the development of the next generation of information technology, an increasing amount of attention is being paid to smart residential spaces, including smart cities, smart buildings, and smart homes. Building indoor safety intelligence is an important research topic. However, current indoor safety management methods cannot comprehensively analyse safety data, owing to a poor combination of safety management and building information. Additionally, the judgement of danger depends significantly on the experience of the safety management staff. In this study, digital twins (DTs) are introduced to building indoor safety management. A framework for an indoor safety management system based on DT is proposed which exploits the Internet of Things (IoT), building information modelling (BIM), the Internet, and support vector machines (SVMs) to improve the level of intelligence for building indoor safety management. A DT model (DTM) is developed using BIM integrated with operation information collected by IoT sensors. The trained SVM model is used to automatically obtain the types and levels of danger by processing the data in the DTM. The Internet is a medium for interactions between people and systems. A building in the bobsleigh and sled stadium for the Beijing Winter Olympics is considered as an example; the proposed system realises the functions of the scene display of the operation status, danger warning and positioning, danger classification and level assessment, and danger handling suggestions.

A Differential Game-Based Approach for School-Enterprise Collaborative R&D Strategy on Digital Twin Technology

Digital twin (DT) technology is an effective way to realize intelligent manufacturing, which has been increasingly received attention in both academia and industry. Thus, it is rather necessary and significant to collaboratively accomplish the research and development (R&D) of DT technology (RDDT). To explore a school-enterprise collaborative R&D strategy on DT technology, this paper proposes a differential game-based approach to compute the optimal R&D effort levels and optimal incomes of both parties in the school-enterprise collaborative innovation (SECI) system. First, using Berman's continuous dynamic programming theory, the optimal R&D effort levels, the optimal incomes of both parties, and total optimal income in the SECI system are calculated in three cases: Nash non-cooperative game, Stackelberg master-slave game and cooperative game. Second, the equilibria of the three game cases are analyzed and compared. Finally, a numerical example is used to verify the validity of the conclusion, and we find that the optimal benefit of two parties in cooperative game are significantly better than those of Nash non-cooperative game and Stackelberg master-slave game, which effectively demonstrates the superiority of school-enterprise collaborative R&D on DT technology.
