The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Through a flexible rule-based approach of the Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) paradigm, the framework supports the fine-tuning of the main ecological interactions of the pest with its crop host and the environment. Forecasting insect infestation in realistic scenarios, considering both spatial and temporal dimensions, is made possible by integrating heterogeneous data sources.

C2weakest assumption

That the rule-based agent-based model, when tuned with the integrated lab, weather, and GIS data, will produce forecasts that accurately reflect real-world pest dynamics and ecological interactions for the target species.

C3one line summary

PesTwin is a biology-informed digital twin that employs flexible rule-based agent-based modeling to simulate and forecast pest infestations by integrating laboratory, environmental, and spatial data, demonstrated on Drosophila suzukii.
