SUMMARY:Brown bag: Ken Birman
DESCRIPTION:Title: Cloud hosted computing for demanding real-time
	 applications.\nSpeaker: Ken Birman\nAbstract: My group is working with a
	 consortium of bulk electric power transmission operators for the
	 Northeastern US on a cloud-based \"smart grid\" infrastructure.  Our
	 long goal is to use the cloud to host machine-learning and optimization
	 technologies\, but the scale of the problem forces us to think about how
	 one can build a cloud-scale solution secure enough to support a
	 nationally critical resource\, strongly consistent\, and seamlessly
	 recoverable after disruption.  Today we have a platform running: we call
	 it GridCloud\, and in this BB talk I'll describe the main technology.  
	 My focus will be on the forms of consistency needed in this kind of
	 system\, and how we address those needs in GridCloud.
