Digital Twins, Part 3: Cross-Platform Interoperation at the Data Level
There is virtually no limit to what could be done when the data are combined using the right strategies, analytics methods and tools. The results could be both – the desired benefits or undesired consequences adversely affecting privacy, safety, fairness, and overall decisions. In our recent research on designing Digital Twins for IoT lifecycle data…

In Search for an Effective Cybersecurity Architecture for Smart Manufacturing Platform Ecosystems
One of our current research projects called the EFPF (European Connected Factory Platform for Agile Manufacturing), www.efpf.org, is about digital manufacturing ecosystems to be established through a federation of cloud-based manufacturing platforms. Prior to entering the EFPF federation, each of the platforms was designed to provide their own security and privacy controls. Platform federation brings…
