The DEBS 2020 grand challenge
The ACM DEBS 2020 Grand Challenge is the tenth in a series of challenges which seek to provide a common ground and evaluation criteria for a competition aimed at both research and industrial event-based systems. The focus of the ACM DEBS 2020 Grand Challenge is on Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM). The goal of the challenge is to detect when appliances contributing to an aggregated stream of voltage and current readings from a smart meter are switched on or off. NILM is leveraged in many contexts, ranging from monitoring of energy consumption to home automation. This paper describes the specifics of the data streams provided in the challenge, as well as the benchmarking platform that supports the testing of the solutions submitted by the participants
