Aggregation of digital twins in the manner of Systems of Systems

Lyon, France
Published: March 16, 2026
Expected Start: Autumn 2026

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

Brest, France
Published: March 16, 2026
Expected Start: Autumn 2026

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.
