Questions and Answers

Could you comment on my assertion that a correctly constructed and used Architecture Model is in fact a form of Digital Twin.

Interesting assertion, which leads to the question of what is the definition of a Digital Twin. Giu Platania seemed to take the approach of the equivalent of a Turing test.

With your graphana dashboard, are you aggregating data from multiple sources or is the dashboard just coming from the EA repository?

The graphana dashboard is an example of Digital Twin monitor, as such, need to be coming from a Authorities Source Of Truth, in this case it's the EA repository

I saw Open Modellica on your slides, but you used the "internal" BPSIm capablity in the demo; have you also done anything with State Machine simulations ?

Initially I used SysML and OpenModelica, but then I decided to present built-in capabilities of EA. Open Modelica is extremely powerful but would require a complete separate presentation

I've used the built-in simulation capability in EA, based on the State Machine simulation. It leads us to a lot of learnings from the virtual world that could then be applied into the real-world. and resulted in the development of better documentation/standards, because they had been "better rehearsed".

The next step is to use code generation to ensure that your Model and the real thing are aligned. Too often the specification and the implementation differ
