Abstract
Techniques for management of virtual representations (e.g., digital twins) of infrastructure are disclosed. For example, a method comprises obtaining at least one virtual representation of an infrastructure, wherein the virtual representation represents the infrastructure in a first state. The method further comprises applying at least one dataset to the virtual representation to artificially advance the virtual representation to represent the infrastructure in a second state.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- obtaining at least one virtual representation of an infrastructure that is access-limited, the virtual representation comprising a first digital model and a second digital model, the first digital model modeling one or more physical characteristics of the infrastructure, the second digital model modeling data and logic characteristics associated with the infrastructure, and wherein the virtual representation represents the infrastructure in a first state;
- applying at least one dataset to the virtual representation to artificially advance at least one of the first model and the second model of the virtual representation to represent the infrastructure in a second state;
- capturing one or more changes to at least one of the first model and the second model of the virtual representation between the first state and the second state to form a first training set;
- training the first model and the second model of-the virtual representation based on the first training set;
- and
- in response to the one or more captured changes, initiating one or more infrastructure improving actions in association with the infrastructure when in the second state, the one or more infrastructure improving actions comprise at least one of a debugging action and a cybersecurity action;
- wherein the steps are performed by at least one processor and at least one memory storing executable computer program instructions.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program instructions wherein, when the at least one processor executes the computer program instructions, the apparatus is configured to:
- obtain at least one virtual representation of an infrastructure that is access-limited, the virtual representation comprising a first digital model and a second digital model, the first digital model modeling one or more physical characteristics of the infrastructure, the second digital model modeling data and logic characteristics associated with the infrastructure, wherein the virtual representation represents the infrastructure in a first state;
- apply at least one dataset to the virtual representation to artificially advance at least one of the first model and the second model of the virtual representation to represent the infrastructure in a second state;
- capture one or more changes to at least one of the first model and the second model of the virtual representation between the first state and the second state to form a first training set;
- train the first model and the second model of the virtual representation based on the first training set;
- and
- in response to the one or more captured changes, initiate one or more infrastructure improving actions in association with the infrastructure when in the second state, the one or more infrastructure improving actions comprise at least one of a debugging action and a cybersecurity action.
A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium and comprising machine executable instructions, the machine executable instructions, when executed, causing a processing device to perform steps of:
- obtaining at least one virtual representation of an infrastructure that is access-limited, the virtual representation comprising a first digital model and a second digital model, the first digital model modeling one or more physical characteristics of the infrastructure, the second digital model modeling data and logic characteristics associated with the infrastructure, wherein the virtual representation represents the infrastructure in a first state;
- applying at least one dataset to the virtual representation to artificially advance at least one of the first model and the second model of the virtual representation to represent the infrastructure in a second state;
- capturing one or more changes to at least one of the first model and the second model of the virtual representation between the first state and the second state to form a first training set;
- training the first model and the second model of-the virtual representation based on the first training set;
- and
- in response to the one or more captured changes, initiating one or more infrastructure improving actions in association with the infrastructure when in the second state, the one or more infrastructure improving actions comprise at least one of a debugging action and a cybersecurity action.
