Digital Twins for Security-based Assurance of Edge-Cloud Software – a Data Platform Approach

This paper presents a conceptual view on a data platform of a distributed digital twin (DT) architecture for edgecloud software systems, of which entities are provided and built by multiple stakeholders in a supply chain. We focus on exploring data platform approaches for DTs to support security-based assurance development and operation activities in an integrated manner by considering a holistic view of data, AI/ML models and service-based components as part of the edge-cloud software.
