Members of the SAS Analytics Center of Excellent and the SAS Internet of Things departments put together a tutorial that describes how they envision the digital twins developed in industry and the pivotal role simulation plays in their development. Using supply chain digital twins as an example application, they introduce their digital twin framework that simulation practitioners might find useful when developing their digital twin solutions to understand what did happen, predict what may happen, and determine solutions to fix future problems before they happen. They conclude with simulation research streams that contribute to the use of simulation in digital twin development. This was initially presented at the Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) 2022.
