In recent years, Digital Twin (DT) technology has emerged as a significant technological advancement. A digital twin is a digital representation of a physical asset that mirrors its data model, behaviour, and interactions with other physical assets. Digital Twin aims to achieve adaptability, seamless data integration, modelling, simulation, automation, and real-time data management. The primary goal of this paper is to explore the role of agents in DT implementations, seeking to understand their predominant usage scenarios and purposes. From our perspective, agents serving as intelligent entities play a role in realising the features of DTs. This paper also discusses the gaps in DT, highlights future directions, and analyses various technologies integrated with multi-agent systems technologies in DT implementations. Finally, the paper briefly discusses an overview of an architecture to implement a DT for smart agriculture with multi-agents.
