OMiLAB is a community of practice which offers a digital ecosystem bringing together open technologies to investigate and apply conceptual modeling methods for varying purposes and domains. One of the core value propositions is a dedicated Digital Innovation environment comprising several toolkits and workspaces, designed to support digitalization processes. At the core of this environment is a notion of Agile Digital Twin – a conceptual representation that can be tailored with knowledge engineering means to bridge the semantic and functional gap between a business perspective (focusing on value creation) and an engineering perspective (focusing on cyber-physical proofs-of-concept).
Dr. Wilfrid Utz is one of the managing directors of OMiLAB NPO (www.omilab.org), the non-profit organisation headquartered in Berlin supporting the conceptual modelling community organized around emerging topics with repect to domain-specific conceptual modelling. Wilfrid completed his PhD thesis at the University of Vienna in the field of meta-model design and knowledge representation using conceptual structures.
Iulia Vaidian holds a master of supply chain management from WU Vienna. She gained extensive experience in the field of meta-modelling and contributed to the success of a number of European projects in her role as researcher, trainer and employer at OMiLAB NPO.
