“…Another avenue for future research is to examine ID coding in the context of specific application contexts, e.g., in the smart labels [6], [7], [8], [9] context or the digital twin context [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34], [35]. These future examinations should consider typical operational scenarios with data from real-life systems in operational practice, e.g., smart label data exchanges from operational large-scale warehouses, or digital twin data exchanges from operational robots in industrial production lines.…”

“…Also, in multi-access edge computing (MEC), the computing instances that execute a mobile computing application need consistent application state information as the computing instances are moved among MEC servers to remain in close vicinity of the mobile application [25], [26], [27], [28]. Similarly, in digital twin systems [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], the real physical system and the corresponding digital twin (simulation of the real physical system) need to stay synchronized. ID can achieve exponential gains in efficiency compared to conventional Shannon data transmission for such verifications whether distributed systems have consistent state information.…”

Identification Codes: A Topical Review With Design Guidelines for Practical Systems

et al. 2023

A wide range of information technology applications require the identification of a particular message or label that represents the identity of an object at a distance, e.g., over a wireless channel. Conventionally, the underlying information that represents the identity is transmitted over the channel, following the information-theoretic concept of message transmission. If the purpose of the interaction over the channel is only to verify (match) an identity, then the concept of identification over channels-utilizing the identification codes that have been developed by the information theory community-can provide an exponential efficiency gain over message transmission. This topical review article conducts for the first time a comprehensive detailed evaluation of the existing identification codes for the practically relevant regime of finite parameters. We examine essentially all published identification codes, including codes based on inner constant weight codes that are concatenated with outer linear block codes, such as Reed-Solomon and Reed-Muller codes. Specifically, we conduct a holistic identification code comparison based on the logarithm of the number of representable identities (in shannon), the size (in bit) of the transmitted cue that represents an identity, and the corresponding type II error probability bound for essentially all existing identification codes. Based on the resulting insights, we formulate guidelines for the design of practical (finite-parameter) identification codes. For instance, we find that a linear block code (without concatenation with a sophisticated inner constant-weight code) is sufficient for most practical identification code usages.

“…With this cross-industry dissemination and growth of the Digital Twin concept arise challenges. Confusing terminologies [4], unclear development strategies [13], and a variety of different architectures confuse developers and users and hamper the potential of the Digital Twin concept. This article proposes a cross-industry Digital Twin reference architecture model that aims to consolidate the variety of Digital Twin architectures under three dimensions: Functionality, dependability, and life cycle.…”

“…Digital Twin reference architecture model serves as the next step in a series of publications aiming at facilitating the development of Digital Twin applications across industries (Figure11). Newrzella et al[13] propose a methodology for identifying promising Digital Twin use cases and prioritizing them based on estimated value, effort, and scalability. That article extends this work by proposing a structured approach for developing an architecture for Digital Twin applications concerning functionality, dependability, and life cycle aspects for the prioritized Digital Twin use cases.…”

The Digital Twin concept promises numerous applications across industries and its physical twin's entire life cycle. Although numerous architectures have been proposed to develop and describe the setup of Digital Twin applications, current Digital Twin architectures do not address the versatile crossindustry character of the Digital Twin concept, its safety, security, and privacy aspects, and are often use case-specific and inflexible. We propose a three-dimensional Digital Twin reference architecture model for application across industries, considering functionality, dependability, and life cycle aspects. Our model provides practitioners a common platform to develop and discuss Digital Twin applications of different complexities and dependability aspects along varying life cycles and independent of the industry. Its applicability is validated and showcased by examples from the fields of mechatronic products, healthcare, construction, transportation, astronautics, and the energy sector. We compare our reference architecture model to existing architectures, discuss its advantages and limitations, and position the model within previous literature.

Digital twins are a powerful consequence of digital transformation. In fact, they have been applied to many industries to enhance operations, predict needs, improve decision making, or optimize performance, even though the definition of digital twins is still evolving. However, their impact on the software industry is still limited. Thus, this work aims to analyze the current adoption of digital twins in the software industry as a potential path to integrate them into application lifecycle management. To achieve this objective, first, the significant characteristics of current digital twins are analyzed in their application to manufacturing to understand how the knowledge and the lessons learned can be transferred to the software industry. Second, a systematic literature review was conducted on Scopus, the Web of Science, and the ScienceDirect database. The literature review revealed 93 documents after data screening and cleaning 251 initial documents. Our main findings are that digital twins are already influencing and will significantly affect the software industry, revolutionizing various aspects of the software development lifecycle. This study tackles what identifies a digital twin in the software industry, the specific domains and areas where they can be applied in the software lifecycle, and the proposed approaches explored to build digital twins for developing, deploying, and maintaining software systems. Finally, this study proposes some guidelines for building digital twins in the context of application lifecycle management. Determining an appropriate roadmap shortly is essential to achieve a widespread applicability to building suitable digital twins and preparing organizations for the software industry.
