Authoritative Broker of Truth (ABoT) for Cross-Disciplinary Simulation and Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE)
Presented at the 2024 Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation, and Education Conference (I/ITSEC)
Building digital twins is a cross-disciplinary endeavor, combining the efforts of modelers, system engineers, data analysts, UX designers and domain experts. For digital twins to be able to evolve with their paired, realworld system the artifacts associated with these various disciplines must remain synchronized and coherent throughout the digital twin lifecycle. We provide a paradigm for harmonizing this multidisciplinary effort using what we call an ABoT. We apply this paradigm to a real-world case study: Can I cut the cord on my cable provider?
The ABoT provides the data organization and processes needed to build, utilize and evolve a digital twin. Our approach is vendor-neutral and allows the integration of disparate artifact types from different domains.
