Eclipse sensiNact: IoT Device Modeling and Digital Twins

Learn about the Eclipse sensiNact project in this conference talk that explores how IoT devices can be dynamically connected and modelled using EMF (Eclipse Modeling Framework). Discover how to address the challenges of IoT device proliferation and data access mechanisms through detailed EMF models instead of generic data structures. Explore the creation of flexible Digital Twins that can be composed from existing models or built from scratch for custom behaviors. Understand how the lightweight nature of these models enables deployment at both edge and cloud levels, optimizing latency, data throughput, processing, and storage. Through real-world examples from the City of Jena's Smart City implementation, gain practical insights into sensiNact's modular gateway architecture, dynamic device connector configuration, and the reusability of IoT devices and their digital twins across application domains.
