A software engineering approach to ease the development and to ensure the usability of interactive digital twins

Mohamed Said Aimen LAMRI · Arnaud BLOUIN, Philippe PALANQUE
Rennes, France
September 1, 2026

By its very nature, a digital twin strongly relies on data visualization and user interactions. Building such interactive digital twins from scratch and in a craft way is time-consuming and may prevent the generalization of DT as industrial tools limiting the benefits to be expected from their deployment. The goal of the PhD is to propose novel software engineering approaches to ease and support the development of reliable and usable interactive digital twins
