In this paper we introduce a research agenda to guide the development of the next generation of Discrete Event Simulation (DES) systems. Interfaces to digital twins are projected to go beyond physical representations to become blueprints for the actual “objects” and an active dashboard for their control. The role and importance of real-time interactive animations presented in an Extended Reality (XR) format will be explored. The need for using game engines, particularly their physics engines and AI within interactive simulated Extended Reality is expanded on. Importing and scanning real-world environments is assumed to become more efficient when using AR. Exporting to VR and AR is recommended to be a default feature. A technology framework for the next generation simulators is presented along with a proposed set of implementation guidelines. The need for more human centric technology approaches, nascent in Industry 4.0, are now central to the emerging Industry 5.0 paradigm; an agenda that is discussed in this research as part of a human in the loop future, supported by DES. The potential role of Explainable Artificial Intelligence is also explored along with an audit trail approach to provide a justification of complex and automated decision-making systems with relation to DES. A technology framework is proposed, which brings the above together and can serve as a guide for the next generation of holistic simulators for manufacturing.

在本文中，我们介绍了一个研究议程，以指导下一代离散事件仿真 (DES) 系统的开发。数字双胞胎的接口预计将超越物理表示，成为实际“对象”的蓝图和用于控制它们的活动仪表板。将探讨以扩展现实 (XR) 格式呈现的实时交互式动画的作用和重要性。在交互式模拟扩展现实中使用游戏引擎，特别是它们的物理引擎和 AI 的需求得到了扩展。假设使用 AR 时，导入和扫描真实环境会变得更加高效。建议将导出到 VR 和 AR 作为默认功能。提出了下一代模拟器的技术框架以及一组建议的实施指南。对更多以人为中心的技术方法的需求，在工业 4.0 中新生，现在是新兴工业 5.0 范式的核心；本研究中讨论的议程是人类在循环未来的一部分，由 DES 支持。还探讨了可解释人工智能的潜在作用以及审计跟踪方法，以提供与 DES 相关的复杂和自动化决策系统的理由。提出了一个技术框架，将上述内容结合在一起，可以作为下一代制造整体模拟器的指南。还探讨了可解释人工智能的潜在作用以及审计跟踪方法，以提供与 DES 相关的复杂和自动化决策系统的理由。提出了一个技术框架，将上述内容结合在一起，可以作为下一代制造整体模拟器的指南。还探讨了可解释人工智能的潜在作用以及审计跟踪方法，以提供与 DES 相关的复杂和自动化决策系统的理由。提出了一个技术框架，将上述内容结合在一起，可以作为下一代制造整体模拟器的指南。
