Architectural aspects of digital twins in IIoT systems
Abstract
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems enable the connectivity of numerous devices, which are heterogeneous in terms of their interfaces and supported protocols, into one system to derive more intelligent actions from data. Digital Twins are a key enabler for IIoT systems, which allow the acquisition, access, and exchange of far greater variety of data than today and previously unseen interoperability out of the box. This paper elaborates on the definitions of digital twins, their role in IIoT systems and the necessary architectural decisions that software/system architects have to make to design digital twins.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
