Acknowledgements

This thesis is the result of my work as a research assistant from 2007 to 2011 under the guidance of Professor Herwig Hofmann at the University of Luxembourg. It was defended in April 2011. First and foremost, I wish to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Herwig Hofmann. His support and guidance during the years of my research have made it possible for me to write and finish this thesis. My profound thanks go to him for his confidence in my work. It was also an extraordinary privilege to have been guided by Professor Spiros Simitis who not only took part in my jury, but who was always available for discussions over the last few years when I needed his advice. He and his publications have been a constant inspiration and an important guide during the research. I would like to express my deepest appreciation and I profoundly thank him for his encouragement and his indispensable advice. I would also like to thank Mark Cole, Associate Professor at the University of Luxembourg, for his invaluable comments and his continual academic support over the last years. He always had the time to discuss and was open to my ideas. The thesis would look far less complete without his contributions. The idea for the research dates back to my years at the University of Gießen where I wrote my master thesis on a data protection related topic under the supervision of Professor Thilo Marauhn, who continuously supp
