Digital Twins of Open Systems

This report is devoted to a new area of physics of open systems. In this area, methods and technologies were created to provide cognition, scientific understanding and rational explanation of states and properties inherent in open systems. In doing so, these systems can be represented by hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of variables. On this basis, a multidimensional knowledge-centric analytics of open systems considered at their natural scale and real complexity has appeared. Presently, the formation of a new cyber-physical paradigm of systems research and development goes on. The report includes a review of possibilities for applying this paradigm to automatic generation of digital twins of open systems in complex subject matter areas.
