Operation Heartbreak
'The Man Who Never Was' is a "now it can be told" story of secret Operation Mincemeat. This was a carefully prepared ruse involving planted documents on a floating body which successfully misled the German commanders as to the Sicily invasion. Told by the British naval officer who originated the plot. In 1950 came Duff Cooper's poignant novel 'Operation Heartbreak', a romantic tale, one which the government--right up to PM Clement Attlee--attempted to suppress. Its publication prompted the intelligence services to pressurize the operation's mastermind, Ewen Montagu, into writing a factual account, 'The Man Who Never Was'. Spellmount is proud to present these two accounts, fictional and factual, of one of the greatest intelligence operations ever undertaken, with an introduction by Duff Cooper's son, John Julius Norwich.

Principles of Distributed Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems, OPODIS 2012, held in Rome, Italy, in December 2012. The 24 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 89 submissions. The conference is an international forum for the exchange of state-of-the-art knowledge on distributed computing and systems. Papers were sought soliciting original research contributions to the theory, specification, design and implementation of distributed systems.
Distributed Computing
Designing distributed computing systems is a complex process requiring a solid understanding of the design problems and the theoretical and practical aspects of their solutions. This comprehensive textbook covers the fundamental principles and models underlying the theory, algorithms and systems aspects of distributed computing. Broad and detailed coverage of the theory is balanced with practical systems-related issues such as mutual exclusion, deadlock detection, authentication, and failure recovery. Algorithms are carefully selected, lucidly presented, and described without complex proofs. Simple explanations and illustrations are used to elucidate the algorithms. Important emerging topics such as peer-to-peer networks and network security are also considered. With vital algorithms, numerous illustrations, examples and homework problems, this textbook is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of electrical and computer engineering and computer science. Practitioners in data networking and sensor networks will also find this a valuable resource. Additional resources are available online at www.cambridge.org/9780521876346.

Distributed Computing
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Symposium on Distributed Computing, DISC 2007, held in Lemesos, Cyprus, in September 2007. The 32 revised full papers, selected from 100 submissions, are presented together with abstracts of 3 invited papers and 9 brief announcements of ongoing works; all of them were carefully selected for inclusion in the book. The papers cover all current issues in distributed computing - theory, design, analysis, implementation, and application of distributed systems and networks - ranging from foundational and theoretical topics to algorithms and systems issues and to applications in various fields. This volume concludes with a section devoted to the 20th anniversary of the DISC conferences that took place during DISC 2006, held in Stockholm, Sweden, in September 2006

FME 2002: Formal Methods - Getting IT Right
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the international symposium Formal Methods Europe, FME 2002, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in July 2002. The 31 revised full papers presented together with three invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 95 submissions. All current aspects of formal methods are addressed, from foundational and methodological issues to advanced application in various fields.
Consistent Distributed Storage
Providing a shared memory abstraction in distributed systems is a powerful tool that can simplify the design and implementation of software systems for networked platforms. This enables the system designers to work with abstract readable and writable objects without the need to deal with the complexity and dynamism of the underlying platform. The key property of shared memory implementations is the consistency guarantee that it provides under concurrent access to the shared objects. The most intuitive memory consistency model is atomicity because of its equivalence with a memory system where accesses occur serially, one at a time. Emulations of shared atomic memory in distributed systems is an active area of research and development. The problem proves to be challenging, and especially so in distributed message passing settings with unreliable components, as is often the case in networked systems. We present several approaches to implementing shared memory services with the help of replication on top of message-passing distributed platforms subject to a variety of perturbations in the computing medium.
Distributed Computing and Networking
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking, ICDCN 2009, held in Hyderabad, India, during January 3-6, 2009. The 20 papers and 32 short presentations presented together with 3 keynote talks and a memorial lecture on A.K. Choudhury were carefully reviewed and selected from 179 submissions. The topics addressed are sensor networks, multi-core and shared memory, peer-to-peer-computing, reliability and security, distributed computing, network algorithms, fault tolerance and models, fault tolerance and replication, wireless networks, and grid and cluster computing.
