Abstract
Digital Twins have recently emerged as a major new area of innovation. Digital Twins are often found at the core of "smart" solutions that have also emerged as major areas of innovation. Modeling and Simulation (M&S) approaches create a model of a real-world system that is linked to data sources and is used to simulate and predict the behavior of its real-world counterpart. On the face of it Digital Twins and M&S appear to be similar, if not the same. Is this actually the case? Are the two fields really separate or is Digital Twin research re-inventing the "M&S wheel"? To investigate these relationships, in this panel we will explore some contemporary innovations with Digital Twins and discuss whether or not Digital Twins is a contemporary "refresh" or "rebranding" of M&S or if there are exciting new synergies?Conference Dates
