Reality-infused simulations for dashboarding potential realities

Abstract In production environments, it is essential to anticipate the opportunities and challenges of new technology implementation trajectories. Often, companies face an inability to oversee the consequences on different aggregation levels, fields of expertise, perspectives and time-frames. This research presents an architecture to support simulation-based prevision of potential realities that comprehend results in a meaningful and perspective-dependent manner. The architecture specifically aims to ensure that the simulation benefits surpass the efforts and cost involved. The instant-controlled flexibility of reality-infused simulations leads to more insight in the effects of changes, while structuring the development trajectory and making it more predictable and deterministic.
