BU MET Team Wins Grand Challenge at ACM International Conference on Distributed and Event-Based Systems
Professor Kia Teymourian, along with a team including Sambasiva Rao Gangineni (MET’19), Harshad Reddy Nalla (MET’19), and Saeed Fathollahzadeh, participated in the 13th ACM International Conference on Distributed and Event-Based Systems (DEBS) held in Darmstadt, Germany, June 24–28, where they won both the Grand Challenge and Audience Voting Awards for their “Real-Time Object Recognition from Streaming LiDAR Point Cloud Data.” The DEBS Grand Challenge is an opportunity for academics and professionals to compete with the goal of building faster and more-accurate distributed and event-based systems. Every year, competitors explore a new data set and a new problem, and can compare their results based on the common evaluation criteria. Congratulations to the team for their accomplishment!
The ACM International Conference on Distributed and Event‐Based Systems is dedicated to promoting the exchange of ideas between academia and industry, providing a forum for the dissemination of original research in event-based computing related to Big Data, AI/ML, IoT and Distributed Systems.
