The use of digital twin systems in the construction of socio-cyber-physical systems

The modern stage of technology development allows us to create anthropogenic systems that feature a fundamentally new level of complexity compared to existing systems, which for the most part are multilevel heterogeneous distributed systems, which include anthropogenic physical entities, virtual entities, natural objects, living beings, people and human collectives. Such systems can be defined as socio-cyber-physical systems. The article analyzes the current state of technology for building socio-cyber-physical systems, and considers the possibility of using digital twins in their construction. The possible aspects of using digital twin in the construction of this class of systems are considered. This article discusses one of the possible approaches to the construction of socio-cyber-physical systems based on the use of runtime digital twin systems built using a polymodel approach. The proposed approach can be considered as a convergence of several well-known approaches to the construction of socio-cyber-physical systems. A reference architecture of the run-time digital twin is proposed, the basis of which is not a monolithic model, but a system of models. Typical models that can be used in the construction of socio-cyber-physical systems are analyzed. One of the key problems facing the developers of socio-cyber-physical systems is the construction of a human model.
