- Abstract: Despite the growing popularity of digital twin (DT) developments, there is a
lack of common understanding and definition for important concepts of DT. It is
needed to address this gap by building a shared understanding of DT before it
becomes an obstacle for future work. With this challenge in view, the objective
of our study is to assess the existing DT from various domains on a common
basis and to unify the knowledge and understanding of DT developers and
stakeholders before practice. To achieve this goal, we conducted a systematic
literature review and analyzed 25 selected papers to identify and discuss the
characteristics of existing DT's. The review shows an inconsistency and
case-specific choices of dimensions in assessing DT. Therefore, this article
proposes a four-dimensional evaluation framework to assess the maturity of
digital twins across different domains, focusing on the characteristics of
digital models. The four identified dimensions in this model are Capability,
Cooperability, Coverage, and Lifecycle. Additionally, a weight mechanism is
implemented inside the model to adapt the importance of each dimension for
different application requirements. Several case studies are devised to
validate the proposed model in general, industrial and scientific cases.

Digital Twins (DTs) are virtual replicas of physical manufacturing systems that combine sensor data with sophisticated data-based or physics-based models, or a combination thereof, to tackle a variety of industrial-relevant tasks like process monitoring, predictive control or decision support.
The backbone of a DT, i.e. the concrete modelling methodologies and architectural frameworks supporting these models, are complex, diverse and evolve fast, necessitating a thorough understanding of the latest state-of-the-art methods and trends to stay on top of a highly competitive market.

The concept of Digital Twin (DT) is increasingly applied to systems on different levels of abstraction across domains.
The definition of DT is unclear, neither is there a clear pathway to develop DT to fully realise its capacities.
We propose a DT maturity matrix, based on which we propose a model-based DT development methodology.

We propose a novel Dense Retrieval (DR) framework named Disentangled Dense Retrieval ( DDR) to support effective domain adaptation for DR models.
By making the REM and DAMs disentangled, DDR enables a flexible training paradigm in which REM is trained with supervision once and DAMs are trained with unsupervised data.
DDR significantly improves ranking performance compared to strong DR baselines and substantially outperforms traditional retrieval methods in most scenarios.

This work explores the various DT features and current approaches, the shortcomings and reasons behind the delay in the implementation and adoption of digital twin.
The major reasons for this delay are the lack of a universal reference framework, domain dependence, security concerns of shared data, reliance of digital twin on other technologies, and lack of quantitative metrics.
