Visualization of the Plausibility and Bias for Data Resources used in a Geographic Digital Twin - EDT PC 5
In this PhD research project we will investigate how to automatically classify the plausibility in datasets collected for a geographic or otherwise spatial data, and how to visualize it. We will rely on past results that detected data biases and data errors based on a manual analysis, and will investigate how to use machine learning models to automate this process. In addition, we will investigate how best to depict the different types and degrees of data bias, data imprecision, and data error.

A software engineering approach to ease the development and to ensure the usability of interactive digital twins
By its very nature, a digital twin strongly relies on data visualization and user interactions. Building such interactive digital twins from scratch and in a craft way is time-consuming and may prevent the generalization of DT as industrial tools limiting the benefits to be expected from their deployment. The goal of the PhD is to propose novel software engineering approaches to ease and support the development of reliable and usable interactive digital twins

Aggregation of digital twins in the manner of Systems of Systems
The goal is to develop a System of Systems approach from the design stage onwards. This will enable each component of the digital twin to be identified in relation to a physical system functionality, and their assembly will result in a complete digital twin through aggregation, whose lifecycle management will be controllable, just like the physical system.

Federation of data and models to define digital twins
The digital twin is a repository of knowledge that must be modeled and constructed from highly heterogeneous sources of information. This heterogeneity has several sources: the nature of the information, but also its temporality (real time, futures, pasts). The aim of this thesis is to overcome this obstacle of heterogeneity.

Interconnection of digital twin knowledge
Digital twins will need to represent a variety of knowledge about territories and related data.
