Explaining Cyberphysical System Behavior With Digital Twins

We present a model-driven software architecture that combines the wealth of data, information, and models intrinsic to digital twins with techniques for the self-explainability of software systems to support domain experts in configuring, deploying, operating, and maintaining them.
