Title: | Advancing the Smart Region Digital Twin: The Case of UNESCO GEOfood | Authors: | Monteiro, José Barata, João |
Keywords: | Digital Twin, Smart Region, UNESCO Global Geopark, GEOfood, Community Composting | Issue Date: | 2022 | Citation: | Monteiro, Jose and Barata, João, "Advancing the Smart Region Digital Twin: The Case of UNESCO GEOfood" (2022). ICIS 2022 Proceedings. 11. | Project: | This work is funded by national funds through the FCT – Foundation for Science and Technology, I.P., within the scope of the project CISUC-UID/CEC/00326/2020 and by the European Social Fund, through the Regional Operation Program Centro 2020. The first author is funded by FCT under the Ph.D. grant 2022.09950.BD. | Serial title, monograph or event: | International Conference on Information Systems | Issue: | 43rd | Abstract: | Organic food waste recycling is one of the final frontiers for a sustainable food lifecycle. Digital twins may be helpful to close the loop in more advanced food supply chains, but there is a lack of guidelines on how to adopt this emerging technology in community composting. This paper presents a digital twin-driven design to address this need in a UNESCO-protected region with geological relevance (Geopark). The design science research project offers the foundations for creating intelligent composting networks supported by digital technologies. Six initial design principles are suggested for developing digital twins at a regional level. This study contributes to the deployment of layered digital twins in sustainable regional development. Moreover, our proposal assists the integration of local food producers in regional food supply chains and increases the impact of sustainability brands like GEOfood. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/115306 | Rights: | openAccess |
