1 Systems engineering and digital twins

CEA-List’s systems engineering and digital twins research program takes a holistic approach to the system lifecycle. We leverage model-driven engineering to effectively manage the complexity of new, digital-intensive systems (see sidebar on DeepLab). This approach combines engineering and modeling to simulate systems and their interactions at all levels, from components to the environment. It can be used at all scales, from very large and distributed “systems of systems” down to individual semiconductor devices.And, for safety- and security-critical engineering use cases where there is no room for approximation, MDE can be combined with formal methods based on unimpeachable mathematical foundations.
