Overview

This webinar discusses the definitions of digital twins, and proposes a simple, operational definition compatible with most other definitions, while delimiting what a digital twin is from its extensions and applications.

This webinar further attempts to lay a foundation for goal-focused work on digital twins by examining key technologies, applications, and maturity measurements. This includes sections on digital twin scope, ecosystems, virtual simulation, data modeling and architectures, use cases and implementation, and maturity models. This 'map' of the digital twin landscape helps orient stakeholders, supports digital twin strategy and implementation, and exposes opportunities for synergies from diverse digital twin-related activities.
