ECE PhD student, Davina (Liuyang) Ren, supervised by Professor Paul Ward, has won a Best Student Paper Award at the 16th edition of the ACM International Conference on Distributed Event-Based Systems (DEBS) for her work entitled “Toward Reducing Cross-shard Transaction Overhead in Sharded Blockchains.”
DEBS is an annual technical conference with the objectives of providing a forum dedicated to the dissemination of original research, the discussion of practical insights, and the reporting of experiences relevant to event-based computing. It is sponsored by ACM, the world leading organization for ICT professionals. Sponsorship by ACM is a token of quality of the conference. Less than 5% of larger international conferences on informatics receive ACM sponsorship.
Congratulations Davina!
