DESCRIPTION:The advent of multicore processors and their wide availability
  is revolutionizing the programming conventions and application developmen
 t strategies. To benefit from this new hardware\, modern programming techn
 iques are emerging and scalability of middleware and operating system is b
 eing revisited. However\, what remains unchanged in this paradigm is the a
 vailability demands of the parallelized services\, similar to their sequen
 tial predecessors. State-machine replication is one of the popular strateg
 ies in making services fault tolerant. In this talk we will look at the ca
 pability of state-machine approach in replicating parallel services. On on
 e hand parallel applications require concurrent execution of requests to p
 rovide high performance services and on the other\, state-machine replicat
 ion requires sequential execution of requests to preserve consistency. Dur
 ing this presentation we will look at the possibility of uniting these two
  incompatible models and will propose a solution to achieve it.\n\nBio: Pa
 risa obtained her bachelor and master degrees in software engineering from
  IUST and TMU universities in Tehran\, and in 2009 she moved to Switzerlan
 d to pursue a PhD at the University of Lugano. At the moment\, she is a Po
 stdoc at Microsoft Research Cambridge in Systems and Networking group. Her
  research interests include distributed systems and networking with a focu
 s on fault tolerance and replication.
