| Abstract [eng] |
The rapid growth of interest in Digital Twins has produced a heterogeneous landscape of development methods, frameworks, and process models. Existing reviews describe the state of the art in general, focus on particular dimensions such as methodologies or Model-Driven Engineering techniques, or propose domain-specific engineering approaches. However, no unified view systematically compares these different kinds of contributions, identifies their commonalities and differences, and distils from them a paradigm-independent, model-driven reference method that could be adapted across domains. This paper presents my research that aims to move toward such a unified method for Digital Twin development by performing a systematic comparison of existing frameworks and process models, and by synthesising their results into a coherent reference method. The research methodology combines systematic literature review, comparative method analysis, and inductive synthesis. This paper reports on the current progress, outlines the proposed contribution, and discusses open issues and next steps. |
