Abstract
Six blind men encounter an elephant. Each of them touches a different part of the elephant and expresses what the elephant is. Although they are touching the same elephant, each man's description is completely different from that of the others. We have been using this story as a metaphor for understanding different views of scenario-based system design.

Elephant Flow Detection Mechanism in SDN-Based Data Center Networks
Aiming at the problem of network congestion and unbalanced load caused by a large amount of data capacity carried in elephant flow in the data center network, an elephant flow detection method based on SDN is proposed. This method adopts the autodetect ...
Poster: A Low-cost Elephant Localization System
EWSN ’17: Proceedings of the 2017 International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and NetworksThe human-elephant conflict is affecting the day-to-day life of villagers and farmers of rural Sri Lanka. To protect humans from elephants, reliable mechanisms to identify the presence of wild elephants around human habitats are necessary. In this work, ...
Resource-Efficient Detection of Elephant Rumbles
SenSys '17: Proceedings of the 15th ACM Conference on Embedded Network Sensor SystemsThe human-elephant conflict is causing significant damages to the life of human and elephants in Sri Lanka. Minimizing encounters between humans and elephants is hence crucial in alleviating the human-elephant conflict. We have earlier introduced Eloc, ...
