DESCRIPTION:Vijay Nagarajan\nAbstract: How does one provide efficient read
 /write access to copies of a datum shared amongst multiple actors\, while 
 making it seem like only one definitive copy exists? Variants of this prob
 lem have been addressed since the term "Computer Science" was coined\, by
  researchers spanning programming languages\, distributed systems\, databa
 ses\, computer architecture\, and the verification communities.  However\
 , this partitioning\, coupled with inconsistent terminology and diversit
 y in methodology\, has prevented knowledge from flowing smoothly between
  these communities. \nThe end of Moore's law\, the rise of warehouse-scal
 e computing\, and the advent of new non-volatile memory technologies has b
 rought all of these communities closer again.  What can we learn from one
  another on sharing state?  How to achieve consensus on solving consens
 us? \n \nBio: Vijay Nagarajan is an Associate Professor at the Universit
 y of Edinburgh.  His research interests span computer architecture\, prog
 ramming languages\, and computer systems with a focus on consistency model
 s and coherence protocols.   He is a co-author of the latest edition of 
 the Primer on Memory Consistency and Cache Coherence\, which has been dow
 nloaded more than 13K times. Vijay is a recipient of an Intel Early Career
  Faculty Award\, a PACT best-paper award\, and two IEEE Top-Picks Honourab
 le mentions.\n
