This project aims to create a development framework that facilitates the integration of different enabling technologies and can be applied to different domains. The different existing approaches to DT development will be analysed, proposing a unifying approach. Within this general framework, existing architectures will be studied, proposing different architectural patterns that fit different contexts. Different XAI-supported analysis and decision-making strategies will be analysed, identifying those techniques that best fit the different domains and proposing strategies for selecting the most appropriate technique in each case. Another major challenge is to integrate XR techniques that facilitate the communication of virtual counterparts to users, so an appropriate integration of this type of information representation within the development process will be proposed. Likewise, within this framework, essential aspects that offer us adequate quality assurance must be considered, providing users with truly reliable systems. Finally, the different aspects analysed above must be tested in different scenarios, for which different prototypes will be developed. These prototypes will be used to evaluate the different proposals in the development of two clearly differentiated types of DT: those that integrate humans into their interaction loop and fit the definition of HDT, and those linked to the design of cyber-physical systems.
