Digital twins of business processes: spatio-time layer

Kazakov O. D., Azarenko N. Yu.

This paper presents an approach to the formation of the basic structure of digital twins of business processes at the cyber-physical level, the level of extraction, the level of data preprocessing, the level of models and algorithms, the level of visualization and interfaces. In the context of the virtual representation of the digital twin of a business process in the form of a multilayer structure, special attention is paid to the space-time layer. This approach made it possible to monitor the actual execution of a business process instance in geographical and temporal dimensions. The results of this study will make it possible to manage the business processes of socio-economic systems based on reliable factual data obtained in real time on all aspects of their execution, including taking into account spatio-temporal detail.
