Cognitive Digital Twins for Smart Manufacturing and IoT Systems

Description

The concept of Digital Twins (DTs) has been evolving to include cognitive ca-pabilities, leading to the emergence of Cognitive Digital Twins (CDTs). CDTs are digital representations of physical systems that are augmented with cognitive capabilities to execute autonomous activities. They comprise a set of se-mantically interlinked digital models related to linking and retrieving heterogeneous data, as well as descriptive and simulation models. The CDT concept enhances the cognition capabilities of DTs with semantic technologies, enabling them to be more intelligent, comprehensive, and provide full lifecycle representation of complex systems. This book explores the potential of CDTs in enhancing perturbation resilience and maintenance. a super-Digital twin is realized that not only replicates the sys-tem’s actions, but generates perturbations and anomalies to maintain and empower the system’s security.
