Monte Carlo digital twin worldview: A proposal. Hunter, S. R., Pasupathy, R., & Schmeiser, B. W. In Azar, E., Djanatliev, A., Harper, A., Kogler, C., Ramamohan, V., Anagnostou, A., & Taylor, S. J. E., editors, Proceedings of the 2025 Winter Simulation Conference, pages 3334–3345, Piscataway, NJ, 2025. IEEE. doi abstract bibtex 26 downloads We propose a worldview to facilitate the discussion of how Monte Carlo simulation experiments are conducted in a digital twin context. We use the term ``Monte Carlo digital twin'' to refer to a digital twin in which a Monte Carlo simulation model mimics the physical twin. The worldview we propose encompasses Nelson and Schmeiser's classical worldview for simulation experiments and adds key components of a Monte Carlo digital twin including a predictor, a decision maker, and bidirectional interaction between the Monte Carlo digital twin and the physical twin. We delineate the proposed worldview components in several examples.
