Digital Twins as Engines of Industrial Digital Transformation: Enabling Technologies, Applications, and Adoption Challenges
The digital twin, a virtual representation of a physical asset or process kept synchronized with its counterpart through a live flow of data, has moved in little more than a decade from a conceptual curiosity to one of the central enabling technologies of industrial digital transformation. This review synthesizes the state of the field for an automation and digital-transformation audience. We first clarify the concept and the widely used taxonomy that distinguishes a digital model, a digital shadow, and a full digital twin by the degree to which data flow between physical and virtual is automated. We then examine the technologies that make twins possible, the Internet of Things, cloud and edge computing, simulation and physics-based modelling, big data, connectivity, and above all machine learning, and we map the principal application domains, from manufacturing and predictive maintenance to smart cities, healthcare, energy, and supply chains. Across these domains the recurring value proposition is the same: a twin turns data into foresight, allowing operators to monitor, predict, and optimize rather than merely react. We give particular attention to predictive maintenance, where the integration of machine learning with digital twins has produced the clearest returns, and to the human-centric turn of Industry 5.0, in which twins increasingly model people and their interaction with machines. Finally, we analyse the barriers that keep adoption uneven, especially among smaller enterprises: data quality and interoperability, the absence of shared standards, model fidelity, cost, a scarcity of skills, and cybersecurity and privacy risk. We argue that the technical foundations are now mature enough that the frontier of value has shifted from feasibility to disciplined implementation, standardisation, and organisational readiness. The review is narrative rather than exhaustive and is weighted toward manufacturing, where the literature is deepest.

Optimizing Artificial Intelligence for Digital Transformation: An Integrated Three-Layer Framework Linking Optimization Methods to Enterprise Value Creation
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the principal engine of contemporary digital transformation (DT), yet the value that organizations realize from AI depends less on the mere adoption of models and more on the quality of the optimization that underpins them. This paper argues that optimization is the connective tissue linking algorithmic performance, operational decision-making, and strategic investment in the digitally transforming enterprise. Drawing on the digital-transformation and AI-business-value literatures, the study develops an integrated conceptual framework—the Optimization–AI–Digital Transformation (OAD) framework—that organizes optimization into three interacting layers: learning-level optimization (model training), decision-level optimization (prescriptive and operational analytics), and strategic-level optimization (AI-portfolio and capability sequencing). Each layer is formalized mathematically and mapped to an established stage of digital transformation and to a distinct mechanism of value creation. Using illustrative scenario modeling calibrated to ranges reported in the literature, the paper demonstrates how adaptive gradient methods, constrained prescriptive optimization, and portfolio optimization jointly compound enterprise outcomes across efficiency, agility, innovation, and growth. The framework is discussed in the context of the United Arab Emirates' national AI ambitions, and implications for managers and policymakers are drawn. The paper contributes a cross-disciplinary, optimization-centered lens that reframes digital transformation as a multi-level optimization problem rather than a purely technological or organizational one.
Innovation and Innovative Practices in Digital Environments: The Generative Digital Innovation Practices (GDIP) Framework and a Digital Innovation Practice Index (DIPI)
Innovation in digital environments differs fundamentally from innovation in the analog era: the object of innovation is malleable and re-programmable, the agency for innovation is distributed across ecosystems, and the boundary between the innovation process and its outcome is increasingly blurred. Despite a rich body of scholarship, the specific practices through which organizations actually innovate in digital settings remain scattered across separate literatures on digital transformation, digital entrepreneurship, agile development, and open innovation. This conceptual paper consolidates that fragmented evidence into a single, coherent architecture. It advances the Generative Digital Innovation Practices (GDIP) Framework, which identifies five interdependent innovative practices—combinatorial recombination, distributed co-creation, continuous experimentation, data-driven sensing, and adaptive orchestration—resting on three enabling strata (infrastructure, organizational, and strategic) and animated by dynamic capabilities. To render the framework diagnostic, the paper introduces the Digital Innovation Practice Index (DIPI), a weighted composite that incorporates a novel synergy adjustment reflecting the complementarity among practices. An illustrative application across three organizational archetypes demonstrates how the framework and index expose distinct innovation profiles and maturity gaps. All quantitative figures reported here are illustrative simulations calibrated to ranges reported in the literature and are intended to demonstrate the instrument rather than to present empirical findings. The framework contributes an integrative vocabulary for scholars and a practical diagnostic for managers and policymakers pursuing knowledge-economy objectives such as those articulated in UAE Vision 2071.
Federated Explainable AI for Decentralized Credit Risk Assessment: A Privacy-Preserving Framework Integrating Shapley Deep Networks with Blockchain Verification
Introducing a novel federated learning framework that combines explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) with blockchain-based verification for decentralized credit risk assessment in peer-to-peer lending markets. Traditional centralized credit scoring models face critical challenges regarding data privacy, regulatory compliance, and algorithmic transparency, particularly under GDPR and emerging AI governance frameworks. Our approach addresses these limitations developing a privacy-preserving architecture where multiple financial institutions collaboratively train machine learning models without sharing sensitive borrower data. The proposed framework integrates three key innovations: (1) federated Shapley Deep Network (FSDN) that distributes model training across decentralized nodes while maintaining global interpretability through additive feature attribution; (2) a differential privacy mechanism that ensures individual transaction confidentiality while preserving model accuracy; and (3) a blockchain-based validation layer that creates an immutable audit trail of model predictions and explanations, enabling regulatory compliance and stakeholder trust. We empirically validate our methodology using a comprehensive of 500,000 loan applications across five international P2P platforms spanning 2018-2024. Results demonstrate that FSDN achieves comparable predictive performance to centralized models (AUC-ROC: 0.89 vs 0.91) while providing loan-level explanations consistent with economic theory. The framework reduces data breach risks by 94% compared to centralized architectures and decreases model training time by 37% through parallel computation. Importantly, Shapley value decomposition reveals that debt-to-income ratio, credit history, and employment stability remain primary default predictors across jurisdictions, validating cross-border model applicability. This research contributes to computational economics demonstrating that privacy-preserving distributed learning can maintain both predictive accuracy and interpretability, essential for trustworthy AI deployment in regulated financial markets.
FINTECH AS REGULATORY NIHILISM: Disruption, Strategic Non-Compliance and Sandbox as a containment device
This paper makes a unifying argument: a significant share of FinTech innovation is structured as "regulatory nihilism" — a strategic behavior of intentional devaluation of existing normativity when it hinders time-to-market, scalability, and network rent-grabbing. This nihilism is not taken here in a metaphysical sense, but as an institutional translation of a philosophical core: the loss of binding force of values/forms, replaced by performative logics (adoption, growth, liquidity, engagement). In the absence of governance tools capable of operating with times and granularities compatible with digital markets, selective non-compliance becomes rational for the innovator and destabilizing for the system. The main contribution is twofold. First, it proposes a conceptual framework that integrates genealogy of nihilism (Jacobi, Nietzsche, Heidegger) with institutional theory and "code-as-law", formulating the construct of regulatory nihilism as: (i) arbitrage and forum shopping; (ii) temporal non-compliance ("move fast, regularize later"); (iii) cosmetic compliance; (iv) fragmentation of responsibility along the digital stack. Second, he argues that the regulatory sandbox represents — within a certain perimeter — the only realistic tool for containing nihilistic disruption, since it converts anti-institutional energy into experimentation under constraints, observable data and exit rules. Methodology: interdisciplinary theoretical analysis and institutional comparison of sandbox models (FCA-UK, MAS-Singapore, BCB-Brazil) and the European framework (DLT Pilot Regime; MiCA; DORA). The paper develops a set of testable hypotheses and a design grid to assess efficacy, risks (capture, moral hazard, cyber) and transfer conditions from experiment to market.
Systems Modelling Language-Driven Digital Twins - Applications, Challenges and Sustainability: A Comprehensive Review
Using data from various Internet of Things (IoT) sensors attached to any object, system, or process, which is integrated by a specialized model, a digital/virtual blueprint of the physical entity can be attained. Such blueprints that can mirror their real-world counterparts in real-time are known as Digital Twins (DTs). These twins heavily rely on diverse forms of data, and the ones that use the Systems Modelling Language (SysML) to streamline the same are referred to as SysML-driven Digital Twins (SysML-drivenDT’s). Such model based twins are revolutionizing industrial processes such as predictive maintenance and operational optimization in plants through a structured, model-based approach to capturing and simulating complex systems. Here we show the technology behind the functioning of a DT, its vast applications and advantages in the industrial world, and ways to boost efficiency and unlock a massive potential, along with some of the limitations regarding its use. This paper explains the integration of visualization and human interaction tools such as Virtual reality(VR); how SysML-driven DT’s can function in various industries, including robotization of product lines, predictive maintenance, monitoring, cost reduction, and minimization of emissions and waste, and the ways in which it is able to benefit industries, along with limitations such as high initial cost and usage difficulty due to technical complexity. In this paper we also discuss how DTs can play a major role in sustainability. The paper also goes over a case study conducted in China related to a manufacturing company and DTs. Our discussions provide a solid overall view on this technology and explains in depth the key aspects of its functioning and usage. The paper highlights that DTs can revolutionize the industrial sector, while acknowledging some of its technical constraints. It demonstrates how DTs have a major scope of implementation and how upgrades like integration with technologies like VR, artifact reuse, interoperability and a green twin model can upgrade the DT concept, making it better

Bots2ReC – Analysis of Key Findings for the Application Development of Semi-Autonomous Asbestos Removal
The removal of asbestos from existing buildings is a socially important and challenging renovation process due to the handling of hazardous materials. The EU project Robots to ReConstruction (Bots2ReC) has developed a robotic system for semi-autonomous asbestos removal for apartment buildings. The removal of plaster and tiles and the associated tile adhesive is implemented as a semi-autonomous construction task by mobile manipulators and integrated into the existing construction process. The development is based on a test-driven approach in order to obtain information about the achievable performance and the acceptance of the human operators as early as possible. The identification of the control variables for the respective tools and the embedding in the on-site process flow are named as the main reasons for the test-driven approach. The analysis of selected key findings of the project shows for the developed semantic mapping via mobile robot that a minimal, application-specific data format favours an efficient overall process control via task planning up to execution. In the development of mobile bases for the application, it can be shown that a holonomic drive is preferable to a differential drive due to the partly narrow and angled parts of the building. To carry out the intended processes and to guide the automated power tools, the in-house development of serial manipulators is necessary, since the combination of the required working space with the occurring weight and process forces cannot be solved within the requirements by an industrial manipulator. Finally, the main benefit of this papers contribution is seen in the transferable outcomes to other on-site automation projects.

Blockchain-based E-tendering Evaluation Framework
Tendering & Bidding generally involve many construction units participating in a project bidding. The purchaser selects the best bidder with a short construction period, low cost, high quality, and good reputation. There are huge economic benefits and points of concern behind it. However, tendering suffers an increased risk of data tampering due to the centralized database architecture, resulting in huge financial losses and unnecessary consumption of human resources. Blockchain technology has gained increasing attention in the construction industry because of its high transparency, information traceability, nonrepudiation, and non-tampering characteristics. Initial explorations have been carried out to discuss blockchain benefits in the e-tendering process. However, existing studies are limited to conducting qualitative analysis or proposing conceptual frameworks. A workable blockchain- enabled solution that supports basic functions in the e-tendering process still lacks. Therefore, as an initial exploration, this paper presents a secure blockchain- based framework for tender evaluation. Besides, technical components such as tendering smart contracts are developed to support framework functionalities. The framework feasibility is validated in a tendering evaluation example. Results show that the proposed framework guarantees secure tender evaluation by keeping data traceability and immutability.
