     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.
