##Theme and format
The Fifth Elephant 2017 is a four-track conference on:
The Fifth Elephant is a conference for practitioners, by practitioners.
Talk submissions are now closed.
You must submit the following details along with your proposal, or within 10 days of submission:
##About the conference
This year is the sixth edition of The Fifth Elephant. The conference is a renowned gathering of data scientists, programmers, analysts, researchers, and technologists working in the areas of data mining, analytics, machine learning and deep learning from different domains.
We invite proposals for the following sessions, with a clear focus on the big picture and insights that participants can apply in their work:
##Selection Process
We will notify you if we move your proposal to the next round or reject it. A speaker is NOT confirmed for a slot unless we explicitly mention so in an email or over any other medium of communication.
Selected speakers must participate in one or two rounds of rehearsals before the conference. This is mandatory and helps you to prepare well for the conference.
There is only one speaker per session. Entry is free for selected speakers.
##Travel grants
Partial or full grants, covering travel and accomodation are made available to speakers delivering full sessions (40 minutes) and workshops. Grants are limited, and are given in the order of preference to students, women, persons of non-binary genders, and speakers from Asia and Africa.
##Commitment to Open Source
We believe in open source as the binding force of our community. If you are describing a codebase for developers to work with, we’d like for it to be available under a permissive open source licence. If your software is commercially licensed or available under a combination of commercial and restrictive open source licences (such as the various forms of the GPL), you should consider picking up a sponsorship. We recognise that there are valid reasons for commercial licensing, but ask that you support the conference in return for giving you an audience. Your session will be marked on the schedule as a “sponsored session”.

Description:
Dharma and his team has spent past 7 years to build Azure Cosmos DB (http://cosmosdb.com) - a massively scalable, multi-tenant, globally distributed database service from the ground up. The system they have built is currently operating across more than thirty-four geographical regions, managing hundreds of petabytes of indexed data, and serving 100s of trillions of requests every day from thousands of customers worldwide. The database system allows developers to elastically scale both, throughput and storage across any number of geographical regions on a single table. The service offers guaranteed single-digit millisecond low latency at 99the percentile, 99.99% high availability, predictable throughput, and multiple well-defined consistency models. The system is able to offer comprehensive SLAs for latency, availability, throughput and consistency and is used extensively within Microsoft and is available to external Azure customers since 2015. In this session, Dharma will describe the internals of the system design and various design trade-offs they had to make. He will also share his experiences from operating a globally distributed database service worldwide and maintaining comprehensive Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
Takeaways:
The lessons I have learnt from building a globally distributed database can be applied to many distributed systems.
Some of the takeaways are:
Intended audience:
Application developers of all types, distributed systems practitioners, data engineers, system integrators and consultants.
