interTwin @ IBERGRID 2024

interTwin will be present at the annual IBERGRID conference in Porto. IBERGRID  reinforces the collaboration between Spain and Portugal to support the joint participation in international initiatives and infrastructures of distributed computing and digital repositories. 

interTwin technical coordinator Andrea Manzi (EGI Foundation) will give a talk ‘ The interTwin project: Building and managing scientific Digital Twins’, sharing the latest updates on our project, including the DTE Blueprint Architecture, whose latest version is being released. The contribution will also cover the status of the DT use cases we currently support and describe the software components of the DTE focusing on the activities of the Spanish and Portuguese partners in the project.

The presentation by The interTwin Digital Twin Engine Data Lake by Djana  Vrbanec (DESY) will focus on the design and implementation of the interTwin DataLake, which is based on the ESCAPE Data Lake concept and the extensions and integrations done and ongoing in the project to accommodate from one side the heterogeneous resource providers ranging from HTC, HPC to Cloud and the Requirements from the User communities.

In interTwin’s Digital Twin Engine Components OSCAR and DCNiOS, Estibaliz Parcero (UPV) presents OSCAR and DCNiOS and how they are being used in interTwin to support the implementation of DTs.

SQAaaS as the quality gate for Digital Twins by Pablo Orviz Fernández (IFCA-CSIC ) will  outline the role of the SQAaaS platform as the architectural building block for quality assurance (QA) within two ongoing EC-funded projects that are prototyping Digital Twins in diverse scientific domains: DT-GEO and Intertwin.

Infrastructure Manager: A Deployment Service for the Computing Continuum by Germán Moltó (UPV): The Infrastructure Manager (IM) is an open-source production-ready (TRL 8) service used for the dynamic deployment of customised virtual infrastructures across multiple Cloud back-ends. It has evolved in the last decade through several European projects to support the needs of multiple scientific communities. In InterTwin, a rich set of TOSCA templates have been produced to deploy the required software stacks to support the activities of developing a Digital Twin Engine. This is the case of Apache Nifi, KubeFlow, Kafka, AirFlow, MLFlow, Horovod, STAC, etc.
