The book culminates in chapters that address the emerging areas of mobile andubiquitous computing and distributed multimedia systems before presenting asubstantial case study focusing on the design and implementation of the distributedsystems infrastructure that supports Google both in terms of core search functionalityand the increasing range of additional services offered by Google (for example, Gmailand Google Earth). This last chapter has an important role in illustrating how all thearchitectural concepts, algorithms and technologies introduced in the book can cometogether in a coherent overall design for a given application domain.
