Digital twins emerge in many disciplines to support engineering, monitoring, controlling, and
optimizing cyber-physical systems, such as airplanes, cars, factories, medical devices, or …

We understand this paper as a contribution to the “anatomy” of conceptual models. We
propose a signature of conceptual models for their characterization, which allows a clear …

A digital twin improves our use of a cyber–physical system and understanding of its
emerging behavior. To this effect, a digital twin is to be developed and configured and …

Digital twins becoming more prevalent: They are being used to support the design,
operations, and analysis of complex systems in many domains, such as automotive …

It is an important topic in Active and Assisted Living (AAL) research and development to
support elderly people suffering from memory impairment in their daily activities. A promising …

Complex assistive systems providing human behavior support independent of the age or
abilities of users are broadly used in a variety of domains including automotive, production …

The term 'reference model'is broadly used in publications and discussions. To our
understanding, the role of reference models and their use in modeling is not standardized …

Considerable effort to manually set up the user's context and too coarse-grained activity
recognition results often make it difficult to set up active assisted living systems. In this paper …

This paper presents an approach for model-driven mechatronic system development. The
approach starts with the definition of a suitable domain-specific modeling language and its …

Human emotions are considered as decision factors in specific knowledge-based systems.
However, there is neither a consolidated conceptualization of the emotion domain nor a …
