The Digital Twin is crucial and timely for positively affecting how we work, live, and play. It eliminates the gap between experimentation and learning by bridging real and virtual worlds in a powerful methodology, making significant headway in conquering previously unsolvable problems and challenges. Digital Twins are made possible by four widely deployed infrastructures for connectivity, computing, digital storage, and sources of digital data. The Digital Twin provides insights, paths to innovation, efficient production of goods, improved delivery of services, better experiences and entertainment, and new business models. Investing in Digital Twins is one of the most valuable ways to create sustainable paths to the future. 

The Digital Twin book is the most comprehensive work on the subject to date. It brings together top practitioners, technical experts, analysts, and academics to explore and discuss the concept of the Digital Twin, its history, evolution, and the profound impact across sectors of the global economy. The book addresses the business value, technological underpinnings, lessons learned from implementations, resources for success, practical approaches for implementation, and illustrative use cases. It makes the case for why we believe that Digital Twins will fundamentally transform major industries and enable us to fulfill important societal goals. 

The book is recommended for key decision makers, senior executives, technical leaders, researchers, and students.

 

Prof. Noel Crespi holds Masters degrees from the Universities of Orsay (Paris 11) and Kent (UK), a diplome d'ingénieur from Telecom ParisTech, and a Ph.D and an Habilitation from UPMC (Paris-Sorbonne University). From 1993 he worked at CLIP, Bouygues Telecom and then at Orange Labs in 1995. He took leading roles in the creation of new services with the successful conception and launch of Orange prepaid service, and in standardization (from rapporteurship of the Intelligent Network standard to the coordination of all mobile standards activities for Orange). In 1999, he joined Nortel Networks as telephony program manager, architecting core network products for the EMEA region. He joined Institut Mines-Telecom SudParis  in 2002 and is currently Professor and Program Director at Institut Polytechnique de Paris, leading the Service Architecture Lab. He coordinates the standardization activities for Institut Mines-Telecom at ITU-T and ETSI. He is also an adjunct professor at KAIST (South Korea), an affiliate professor at Concordia University (Canada), and a guest researcher at the University of Goettingen (Germany). He is the scientific director of ILLUMINE, a French-Korean laboratory. His current research interests are in Data Analytics, the Internet of Things and Softwarization.

Dr. Adam T. Drobot is an experienced technologist and manager. His activities are strategic consulting, start-ups, and industry associations. He is the Chairman of the Board of OpenTechWorks, Inc and serves on the boards of multiple companies and no-profit organizations.

Previous to that, he managed the Advanced Technology Group at Science Applications International (SAIC/Leidos) and was the  Senior Vice President for Science and Technology at SAIC.

He is a member of the FCC Technological Advisory Council. In the past he was on the Board of the Telecommunications Industry Association where he Chaired the Technology Committee; the US Department of Transportation Intelligent Transportation Systems Program Advisory Committee; and the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute External Advisory Board. In 2017 and 2018 he chaired the IEEE Internet of Things Initiative Activities Board. He has published over 100 journal articles and holds 27 patents. In his professional career he was responsible for the development of several major multi-disciplinary scientific modeling codes and specialized in developing tools and techniques for the design, management, and operation of complex scientific facilities, discrete manufacturing systems, and large-scale platforms, for government and industry. His degrees include a BA in Engineering Physics from Cornell University and a PhD. in Plasma Physics from the University of Texas at Austin.

Dr. Roberto Minerva (Senior Member, IEEE) received the M.S. degree (summa cum laude) in computer science from the University of Bari Aldo Moro, Bari, Italy, in 1987, and the Ph.D. degree in computer science and telecommunications from Pierre and Marie Curie University-Sorbonne University, Paris, France, in 2013. From 1987 to 1996, he was a Researcher in the area of service architectures and network intelligence with the Telecom Italia Research Center. In the following years, he was responsible for several research groups related to network intelligence and evolution to next generation networks. From 2013 to 2016, he was appointed to the Strategic Initiatives of TIM. Since 2016, he has been the Technical Project Leader of the SoftFIRE, a European Project devoted to the experimentation of network function virtualization (NFV), software defined networking (SDN), and edge computing. Since 2018, he has been an Associate Professor in softwarization with the Service Architecture Laboratory, Wireless Networks and Multimedia Services Department, Institut Mines Telecom, Telecom Sud Paris, Évry, France, a part of the Institute Polytechnique de Paris, Paris. He has authored the book Networks and New Services: A Complete Story. He is also an author of more than 50 papers in journals and international conferences.
