Urs Hoelzle, VP Of Operations & Google Fellow will give 1 exclusive behind
the scenes talk on one of the world's most exciting companies.

You will also have the opportunity to talk to Google about exciting
engineering jobs in Ireland.

Search is one of the most important applications used on the internet, but
it also poses some of the most interesting challenges in computer science.
Providing high-quality search requires understanding across a wide range
of computer science disciplines, from lower-level systems issues like
computer architecture and distributed systems to applied areas like
information retrieval, machine learning, data mining, and user interface
design. In this talk Urs will describe some of the challenges in these
areas, discuss some of the interesting applications related to search that
Google has developed over the past few years, and highlight some of the
behind-the-scenes pieces of infrastructure that we have built in order to
operate Google's services.
