Expertise
Expert in creating and maintaining digital twins of cyber-physical systems. Such a digital twin is a virtual reflection of the real system which, by using models, can provide useful services to the real system. Regarding its creation, we apply model-based system design. When it comes to maintaining them, we focus on techniques that allow us to detect and identify differences between the models and the real system and use them to adjust the models where necessary.
Digital Twins for Continuous Deployment in Model-Based Systems Engineering of Cyber-Physical Systems.
Abstract
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are required to operate over a longer lifetime. As such, the initial requirements can be changed, requiring the system to be updated continuously. These updates to the system must be rolled out continuously (Continuous Deployment) throughout the system's lifetime. The DevOps methodology provides a structured, quality assuring way to do so, as it integrates Development and Operations of a system in a continuous cycle. DevOps is generally applied in software development, however in the design of CPS, which follows a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach, it is not. This is because many challenges remain in the application of DevOps in MBSE. My focus is to create the foundations for continuous deployment of safety-critical CPS using digital twins of the CPS.Researcher(s)
