Description:
The seminar focuses on Digital Twins and data-driven modeling, with an additional goal of improving scientific research and presentation skills for Master students. The seminar targets different topics around the structure and function of Digital Twins as well as their use cases in areas like manufacturing, energy systems, healthcare and others. Additional aspects that we consider in this seminar are cognitive Digital Twins, as well as how data and human expertise can be combined in Digital Twins.
The seminar is structured as a literature review seminar so that each student selects a topic out of a predefined set. The student then writes a paper, as well as delivers a presentation on that topic, based on the provided starting literature and additional research.

Topics:

1. What is a Digital Twin? (core topic)
2. Digital Twins Architectures (core topic)
3. Validation of Digital Twins (core topic)
4. Modeling Formalisms for Digital Twins (core topic)
5. Digital Twins Data Requirements (core topic)
6. Digital Twins for Manufacturing Systems
7. Digital Twins for Energy Systems
8. Digital Twins in Healthcare
9. Digital Twins of City Infrastructures (in Smart Cities)
10. Digital Twins in Logistics
11. Cognitive Digital Twins
12. Fusing Data and Human Expert Knowledge in Digital Twins
