The following is an example of how to combine this task together to the Sequential Task to run multiple 'streams' of tasks in parallel:

<parallel>
  <tasks>
    <sequential>
      <description>First parallel stream.</description>
      <tasks>
        <!-- First sequence of tasks-->
      </tasks>
    </sequential>
    <sequential>
      <description>First parallel stream.</description>
      <tasks>
        <!-- Second sequence of tasks-->
      </tasks>
    </sequential>
  </tasks>
</parallel>
