Title:   Concurrent and Distributed Computing at Google

Abstract:
   Have you ever wondered how Google's massive computing
   infrastructure works?  How Google manages to keep petabytes
   of data and thousands of machines stable, consistent,
   responsive, scalable and fault-tolerant? In this talk, you
   will be presented with a bottom-up tour of Google. Starting
   from the building blocks of concurrent and distributed
   computing, you will see how Google's systems are constructed,
   through the internal systems that are used, to some of the
   newest products, such as Google App Engine.
