Abstract

The ESA mission Gaia is expected to detect a few million eclipsing binaries, most of them hitherto unknown. We present an outline of the processing of these objects in the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium pipeline, with an emphasis on the scientific validation of the software components.
