“…[ 32 ]). Digital transformation towards CPS touches technical and organizational issues, including design and control models—so-called digital twins [ 33 ]. In order to speed up the effectiveness of CPS development, this paper revisited the structure of digital twins from an agent-based and, thus, behavior-centered perspective.…”

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) form the new backbone of digital ecosystems. Upcoming CPS will be operated on a unifying basis, the Internet of Behaviors (IoB). It features autonomous while federated CPS architectures and requires corresponding behavior modeling for design and control. CPS design and control involves stakeholders in different roles with different expertise accessing behavior models, termed Digital twins. They mirror the physical CPS part and integrate it with the digital part. Representing role-specific behaviors and provided with automated execution capabilities Digital twins facilitate dynamic adaptation and (re-)configuration. This paper proposes to conceptualize agent-based design for behavior-based Digital twins through subject-oriented models. These models can be executed and, thus, increase the transparency at design and runtime. Patterns recognizing environmental factors and operation details facilitate the configuration of CPS. Subject-oriented runtime support enables dynamic adaptation and the federated use of CPS components.

Digital Twin of the Organization (DTO) is a relatively new concept that emerged to help managers have a full understanding of their organization and realize their objectives. Indeed, DTO enables connecting all the elements of an organization virtually by providing monitoring, optimization, prediction, and other capabilities through continuous simulations. Creating a flexible and evolvable DTO that covers and supports the organization's business strategies is a complex and time-consuming task that requires engineering best practices. In this context, this paper presents and evaluates the EA Blueprint Pattern, which serves as an architectural reference for the development of a DTO by allowing for mapping well-known Enterprise Architecture concepts into software components defining the DTO software architecture. The evaluation is carried on by showing how to use the pattern for creating the DTO for a given organization. Then, a thorough discussion is conducted to analyze how the developed DTO should evolve to deal with vertical and horizontal integration. The lessons learned highlight the strengths and weaknesses along with practical implications for organizations that are eager to develop their DTO according to the EA Blueprint Pattern.

“…Moreover, DPTs are more effective when applied to organizational contexts described by an enterprise architecture modeling language, such as BPMN [12]. Riss et al [19] evaluate the characteristics and benefits of using a DPT in these contexts. By exploiting a continuous data flow, the DPT shows the real-time performance of its actual counterpart and associates the process with the current behavior of the entities.…”

The development of process-driven systems and the advancements in digital twins have led to the birth of new ways of monitoring and analyzing systems, i.e., digital process twins. Specifically, a digital process twin can allow the monitoring of system behavior and the analysis of the execution status to improve the whole system. However, the concept of the digital process twin is still theoretical, and process-driven systems cannot really benefit from them. In this regard, this work discusses how to effectively exploit a digital process twin and proposes an implementation that combines the monitoring, refinement, and enactment of system behavior. We demonstrated the proposed solution in a multi-robot scenario.
