INFERRING DIGITAL TWINS FROM CAPTURED DATA

In various examples there is a computer-implemented method performed by a digital twin at a computing device in a communications network. The method comprises: receiving at least one stream of event data observed from the environment. Computing at least one schema from the stream of event data, the schema being a concise representation of the stream of event data. Participating in a distributed inference process by sending information about the schema or the received event stream to at least one other digital twin in the communications network and receiving information about schemas or received event streams from the other digital twin. Computing comparisons of the sent and received information. Aggregating the digital twin and the other digital twin, or defining a relationship between the digital twin and the other digital twin on the basis of the comparison.
