      abstract = {The 'digital twin' is now a recognised core component of  the Industry 4.0 journey, helping organisations understand  their complex processes, resources and data to provide  insight into their business and help optimise their  operations. However, there is still some confusion over the  title, with the term 'digital twins' sometimes meaning  different things to different people. This often leads to a  mysticism and uncertainty around the technology and can  mean that organisations are divided by a common  language.

This paper explores the different roles,  definitions and purposes of a digital twin in an attempt to  demystify the technology. By exploring different case  studies and applications can we once and for all define a  digital twin?},
