Digital Transformation through Conceptual Modeling: The NEMO Summer School Use Case
Völz Alexander and Vaidian Iulia
In the digital age, achieving a balance between human creative thinking and technology capabilities is crucial. Recognizing the potential of such collaborations, OMiLAB (Open Model Initiative Laboratory) developed a conceptual framework for establishing experimental innovation spaces in which skills to advance human-machine interaction can be taught and applied. The resulting Digital Innovation Environment incorporates both business and engineering perspectives, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary settings. Conceptual models and Digital Twins play a pivotal role within the environment, seamlessly bridging business strategies with cyber-physical systems. This paper offers a comprehensive understanding of the OMiLAB network, highlighting its alignment with the principles of a Community of Practice and emphasizing the knowledge exchange, exemplified by the NEMO Summer School Series. We present insights, best practices, and educational paradigms vital for navigating the digital transformation landscape.
