Replicating and predicting complex systems with scientific Digital Twins

• Andrea Manzi (EGI.eu)

Description

"As we advance into the age of precision science and engineering, digital twins are becoming essential tools for research and development. This session will explore the role of scientific digital twins across various domains, highlighting their ability to replicate and predict complex systems with remarkable accuracy. Attendees will gain insights into how these virtual models mirror physical counterparts, enabling experiments, performance optimisation, and future behaviour predictions without physical constraints.

We will also showcase key projects funded by the European Commission, particularly the EGI-coordinated InterTwin project. Experts will discuss the development, application, and impact of these initiatives, demonstrating how digital twins are driving innovation and offering solutions to complex scientific and engineering challenges. Join us to discover how digital twins are enhancing our understanding and paving the way for groundbreaking advancements."

Long Talk

In this session we will discuss and report on the progress, how Earth System digital twins and digital twins that are part of the wider Green Deal initiative could operate together in a digital twin platform.
For this purpose we explain in detail the processes, technical implementation, and ontology alignment that needs to be put in place in order to allow for interoperability of digital...

65. A digital twin for geophysical extremes: interim results from the DT-GEO project

Long Talk

The DT-GEO project (2022-2025), funded under the Horizon Europe topic call INFRA-2021-TECH-01-01, is implementing an interdisciplinary digital twin for modelling and simulating geophysical extremes at the service of research infrastructures and related communities. The digital twin consists of interrelated Digital Twin Components (DTCs) dealing with geohazards from earthquakes to volcanoes to...

102. Tagus river-to-ocean collaboratory for thematic digital twins and collaborative management

Anabela Oliveira (National Laboratory for Civil Engineers)

Short Talk

Digital Twins provide a virtual representation of a physical asset enabled through data and models. They can be used for multiple applications such as real-time forecast of system dynamics, system monitoring and controlling, and support to decision making. Recent tools take advantage of the huge online volume of data streams provided by satellites, IoT sensing and many real-time surveillance...

120. Leveraging leadership class computing toward addressing climate and environmental challenges

Dr Valentine Anantharaj (Oak Ridge National Laboratory)

Short Talk

Frontier and Summit, two of the largest supercomputers in the world, are hosted at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF), and managed on behalf of the US Department of Energy (USDOE). They are also counted among “leadership class” systems in the world offering capability computing that accommodate modeling and simulations as well as data analytics and artificial intelligence...

21. Enlivening the Heritage Digital Twin

Franco Niccolucci (ARIADNE RI)

Long Talk

The term “digital twin” has been used to designate 3D models of physical cultural artefacts to which additional information might be added. If the 3D model consisted in a point cloud, as in the case of generating it via scanning, such information was attached to its points or regions as a sort of Post-it, thus creating so-called “augmented objects”. When, instead, CAD systems are used to...

63. Towards a digital twin for flood risk management

Bjorn Backeberg (Deltares)

01/10/2024, 16:55

Long Talk

Equitable flood risk management is contingent upon understanding the evolution of floods and their impacts on different groups in society. While rapid, open-source, physics-based flood and impact models offer valuable insights, their complexity often limits accessibility for decision-makers lacking technical expertise. Digital twins for flood risk management can address this issue by...

93. Detecting pulsar signals in vast real-time data streams with a machine learning / digital twin-based pipeline

Yurii Pidopryhora (MPG - Max-Planck-Gesellschaft)

01/10/2024, 17:10

Short Talk

One of the main benefits of modern radio astronomy, its ability to collect more higher-resolution and wider-bandwidth data from more and more antennas is now also starting to become one of its greatest problems. The advent of cutting-edge radio telescopes, such as MeerKAT, a precursor to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), has made it impractical to rely on the traditional method of storing the...

117. A Digital Twin Application: Climate Extremes Detection and Characterization using Deep Learning

Mr Christian Page (CERFACS (CECI))

01/10/2024, 17:25

Short Talk

Climate Extreme Events and their impacts are getting a lot of attention lately, because their occurrence, severity and spatial coverage are increasing and will likely increase further toward mid and end of century. Many countries are experimenting significant impact of those climate extremes. It becomes more and more important to better assess the change of characteristics of climate extremes,...

5. A path to future-compatibility to navigate the complexity of integrating AI-powered virtual sensing in Digital Twin

Dr Paolo Pileggi (TNO)

01/10/2024, 17:45

Short Talk

Digital Twin technology isn't a single monolithic software solution. It is a complex system that must adapt to varying and potentially unpredictable user needs. This adaptability is crucial in environments where data, models, and objectives are shared across different domains, sectors, organisations, and expertise groups and roles across the organisations. Striving to ensure Digital Twin...
