A DTO of the ship Calmare Nyckel following the EA Blueprint pattern

Abstract: In our current environment, where we increasingly become dependent on the internet, the definition of living smart is widely used. Smart living involves original and innovative solutions to make life more efficient, controllable, economical, productive, integrated and sustainable. The Internet of Things (IoT) helps people with the lifestyle of smart living and helps them gain complete control. IoT does not only offer smart devices for the home, such as Google Home or Alexa. It is also essential for small and big businesses. The ability to transfer data over a network without any human interaction is needed in today's society. Organisations in multiple industries are using IoT to improve decision-making and overall quality of life for their employees. One way of using the IoT infrastructures is a concept called digital twin or a Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO). Since an organisation is constantly evolving, keeping the DTO aligned with the organisation will require an infrastructure that lends itself to be highly flexible and maintainable. The EA Blueprint Pattern was proposed to help achieve a flexible and maintainableDTO. However, there are limited practical instantiations of this pattern that can evaluate its utility. This project will therefore perform a practical evaluation and analysis of the pattern.
