Digital twins (DTs) are virtual replicas of components, assets, systems, or processes, linked to their real-world counterparts, continuously updating their states and simulating their behavior in real-time, as illustrated in Figure 1. They are adopted for monitoring, predicting, and optimizing the performance of diverse systems, bridging the gap between design, testing and deployment. Through conceptual design, virtual verification, and commissioning, DTs open ample room for data-driven optimization and decision making, enhancing strategic planning and risk mitigation in verticals of paramount importance to the Arab world's economic development and citizen's safety and well-being.
