However, structured data collection and evaluation are usually limited in such exercises. To foster decision support based on the findings, this paper describes the relevant components advancing conventional towards digitalized table-top exercises by introducing a hybrid model-based approach. The underlying conceptualizations and the physical components to digitalize such exercises are presented in conjunction with a proof-of-concept – the Scenario Scanner. Project MEASURE is introduced to reflect on the model-based digitalization of table-top exercises. It transfers the approach to the emergency management domain, where table-top exercises are a commonly used tool to simulate the response to potential hazards. The Scenario Scanner is configured for an emergency scenario and selected application samples are presented. The discussion presents how results derived from table-top exercises could be linked to functional or full-scale emergency exercises and covers further potential use cases.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inproceedings} } @inproceedings{10.1007/978-3-031-71743-7_7, title = {Requirements Derived from Digitalization Patterns}, author = {Anna Sumereder and Robert Woitsch and Bernhard Bürger}, editor = {Luis M.

This paper aims at establishing comprehensible digitalization environments by introducing patterns contributing to structuring digitalization efforts. An underlying conceptualization of digitalization environments consisting of digital models, digital-physical interactions, and physical realizations is proposed and used to depict interdependencies among digital and physical building blocks. Digitalization patterns that conceptualize monitoring and controlling techniques are selected based on the application scenario and raise requirements for processing mechanisms as well as for the realization with physical devices. To reflect on the conceptualization and the digitalization patterns, project MEASURE is introduced. Concepts are applied to the emergency exercise context by addressing the application scenario modelling, the interaction between digital-physical world as well as the realization. The discussion derives requirements from the digitalization patterns and reasons on the underlying meta model linking the building blocks of digitalization environments.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inproceedings} } @inproceedings{nokey, title = {How Scenario Building supports Conceptual Modelling}, author = {Sumereder A., Falcioni D., Woitsch R.}, url = {https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-3674/RP-paper7.pdf}, year = {2024}, date = {2024-00-00}, urldate = {2024-00-00}, booktitle = {Joint International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Science Workshops and Research Projects Track, RCIS-WS and RP 2024 }, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inproceedings} } @inbook{Sumereder2022, title = {Model-Based Guide Toward Digitization in Digital Business Ecosystems}, author = {Anna Sumereder and Tor Dokken}, editor = {Dimitris Karagiannis and Moonkun Lee and Knut Hinkelmann and Wilfrid Utz}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-93547-4_18}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-93547-4_18}, isbn = {978-3-030-93547-4}, year = {2022}, date = {2022-01-01}, booktitle = {Domain-Specific Conceptual Modeling: Concepts, Methods and ADOxx Tools}, pages = {411–433}, publisher = {Springer International Publishing}, address = {Cham}, abstract = {Digitization is popular in today's business ecosystems. However, digitization is not straightforward and introduces challenges such as sensor issues, edge computing, network dependencies, and security. Therefore, the idea is to propose a modelling method enabling to guide key aspects for the digitization process. For this reason, the proposed modelling method prototype concentrates on (a) the collection of requirements, (b) the analysis of the contextual environment, as well as (c) the monitoring by guiding the selection of an appropriate digitization device. The modelling method is extended by a physical OMiLAB Innovation Corner experiment that eases, on one hand, understanding the domain problem and, on the other hand, facilitates the selection of an appropriate digitization unit by taking into account potential physical issues as well as the requirements related to the business perspective.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{WOITSCH2022103648, title = {Model-based data integration along the product & service life cycle supported by digital twinning}, author = {Robert Woitsch and Anna Sumereder and Damiano Falcioni}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166361522000458}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compind.2022.103648}, issn = {0166-3615}, year = {2022}, date = {2022-01-01}, journal = {Computers in Industry}, volume = {140}, pages = {103648}, abstract = {Currently, a mega-trend on digitization and servitization using digital technologies and digital twins to support digital (business) transformation can be observed. In literature, emerging digital technologies are considered as an enabler for the creation of additional value, the strengthening of the customer relationship, and as an accelerator of the servitization process in manufacturing. The introduction of such technologies may result in adaptations of the product & service life cycle as well as the business model. A generic product & service life cycle consisting of four phases – design, simulation, manufacturing, and usage of products and services – serves as a foundation for the integration of digital technologies and related data. It can be observed that there is a gap with respect to data integration between the manufacturing and the usage of products and services. A model-based approach including digital twinning is applied to bridge this gap and to show how data can be integrated along the product & service life cycle. The conceptual approach of such a model-based digital twin environment is presented in form of a meta model. To depict how the integration could be eased and guided in manufacturing, findings of the European project Change2Twin, where a digital twin is established for a paint production pilot, are introduced. This industrial manufacturing pilot was supported by production process models. Additionally, a physical experiment was created to raise awareness for the challenges of digitization and servitization.}, keywords = {Digital twin, Model-based approach, Product & service life cycle, Product service system}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inproceedings{nokey, title = {Digitization Principles for Application Scenarios towards Digital Twins of Organizations}, author = {A.
