interTwin co-designs and implements the prototype of an interdisciplinary Digital Twin Engine (DTE), an open-source platform that provides generic and tailored software components for modelling and simulation to integrate application-specific Digital Twins(DTs). Its specifications and implementation are based on a co-designed conceptual model -the DTE blueprint architecture-guided by the principles of open standards and interoperability. The ambition is to develop a common approach to the implementation of DTs that is applicable across the whole spectrum of scientific disciplines and beyond to facilitate development and collaboration.
EGI Foundation role in the project:
EGI is the project coordinator and coordinates the following Work Packages:
- WP1: Project Coordination and Management
- WP2: Innovation Management and Communications
- WP3: Technical Coordination and Interoperability
- WP4: Technical co-design and validation with research communities
- WP8: Ethics requirements
Expected results:
The key expected results (KERs) for interTwin:
- Interdisciplinary Digital Twin Engine: A software platform that provides generic and tailored functional modules for modelling and simulation to facilitate the development and deployment of Digital Twins that address scientific problems in different domains.
- Interoperability Framework: Guidelines, Specifications, and Blueprint Architecture: The interTwin interoperability framework aligns technical approaches and foster collaboration in modelling and simulation application development across scientific domains.
- Toolkit for AI workflow and method lifecycle management: AI-based methodologies to extract application sector specific information from research data at the exabyte-scale level in a real-time manner and increase the efficiency and accuracy of simulation and modelling outputs.
- Quality Framework: Tools for automated quality measures and trust, development of standard quality mapping and indicators for appropriately communicating differences in qualities of inputs and outputs from digital twins, addressing issues such as data and model pedigree, accuracy, and service maturity (increased TRL).
- DTE Federated Infrastructure integrated with EOSC and EU Data Spaces: Federated distributed compute platform providing access to distributed data and integrating HTC, HPC, Cloud and Quantum Computing capabilities for processing.
- interTwin Open Source Community: The community of DT application developers, users and operators that is responsible for the design, development and maintenance of the DTE code base.
Relevance for EGI:
The project supports the principles of the EGI Federation Strategy 2020-2024, in particular:
- Be a trusted service & technology partner for research and innovation
- Evolve the service offering to meet the needs of researchers
