History
The DEBS event began as a series of five workshops run annually from 2002 to 2006. These DEBS workshops were co-located variously with International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (IEEE ICDCS), ACM SIGMOD Conference/PODS and International Conference on Software Engineering (ACM ICSE).
The inaugural DEBS conference was held in 2007, in Toronto, Canada, and has been held annually since.
Conference structure
DEBS events follow the structure of many computer science conferences, runs a sequential track program, and includes tracks for:
and a doctoral workshop.
A recent, novel feature of the conference is the "Grand Challenges" track, which aims to provide a datasets and exercises by which academic and industrial teams may compete to demonstrate the strengths of their solutions.
