“…That means different reduced models of the devices running parallel and can be used to assemble a DT in real-time. Development [19], simulation [16], optimization [20], and even manufacturing processes [21] will definitely become easy using DT technology. Application of DT for optimization of the early-stage system may have the potential to change the optimization concept of it, changes suggested by optimization may be immediately applied in various simulations to evaluate how the final product will interact with a real environment.…”

The concept of Digital Twin is creating and maintaining a digital representation of the real physical entity and supporting its performance utilizing simulation and optimization tools, which are fed with the real data obtained from the physical equipment. Development and implementation of the Digital Twin technology are one of the main challenges for today's industry, more detailed studies are needed on design methods for Digital Twins. Besides using Digital Twin as a high-quality simulation, one of the commitments is monitoring and maintaining control of the whole system via a constant live link between virtual and physical entities. The related research study presents a detailed structural description of the developed Digital Twin virtual entity and the development of a framework that allows Robot Operating System (ROS) to securely communicate with remote Digital Twins via the Internet and harness ROS's adaptability across vast distances and multiple systems.This paper is an extended version of the authors' International Conference on Electrical Power Drive Systems (ICEPDS20) paper, in which we propose a development case study of Digital Twin for an electric motor based on an empirical performance model.

“…In this work, strategies are applied to monitor the microstructure process, with the aim of demonstrating the excellent performance of the framework in a very complex system. Another study regarding using AI for decision-making and reliability validation was done by Villalonga et al They proposed a framework for decentralized and integrated decision-making for rescheduling a physical cyber-production system [32]. Furthermore, the decision-making process is supported on a fuzzy inference system using the state or conditions of different assets and the production rate of the whole system.…”

With many advances in sensor technology and the Internet of Things, Vehicle Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is becoming a new generation. VANET’s current technical challenges are deploying decentralized architecture and protecting privacy. Because Blockchain features are decentralized, distributed, mass storage, and non-manipulation features, this paper designs a new decentralized architecture using Blockchain technology called Blockchain-based VANET. Blockchain-based VANET can effectively resolve centralized problems and mutual distrust between VANET units. To achieve this, it is needed to provide scalability on the blockchain to run for VANET. In this system, our focus is on the reliability of incoming messages on the network. Vehicles check the validity of the received messages using the proposed Bayesian formula for trust management system and some information saved in the Blockchain. Then, based on the validation result, the vehicle computes a rate for each message type and message source vehicle. Vehicles upload the computed rates to Roadside Units (RSUs) in order to calculate the net reliability value. Finally, RSUs using a sharding consensus mechanism generate blocks, including the net reliability value as a transaction. In this system, all RSUs collaboratively maintain the latest updated Blockchain. Our experimental results show that the proposed system is effective, scalable and dependable in data gathering, computing, organization, and retrieval of trust values in VANET.

Among the several emerging dimensioning, control and deployment of future communication network paradigms stands out the human-centric characteristic that creates an intricate relationship between telematics and human activities. The hard to model dynamics of user behavior introduces new uncertainties into these systems that give rise to difficult network resource management challenges. According to this context, this work reviews several decision-making computational methods under the influence of uncertainties. This work, by means of a systematic literature review, focuses on sensor-based Internet of Things scenarios such as Smart Spaces and Industry 4.0. According to our conclusions, it is mandatory to establish a means for modeling the human behavior context in order to improve resource assignment and management.
