Acknowledgements During the years it took to finish this work a lot of people have supported me. First of all, I would like to thank my supervisor Prof. Dr. Andreas Drexl who initialized my work on the topic. Without his support, his helpful suggestions and comments this thesis could not have been finished. Especially his thorough knowledge of the field and the literature involved enabled me an easy start of the work on the subject. I am thankful to my colleages of the Institute of Business Administration of the Christian-Albrechts-University in Kiel. Especially Knut Haase, Carsten Jordan and Rainer Kolisch made helpful suggestions and comments on the subject of research. Moreover, I wish to thank Ina Kantowski, who took care of the literature, Marc Schumann, who drawed up the graphics, Sonke Hartmann and Justus Kurth, who implemented some of the algorithms. I am also thankful to Uwe Penke from the PC-laboratory, who offered the technical support during the time the computational studies were performed. Furthermore, I am grateful to Jorg Gerdes from the Insitute of Oceanographic Research who provided me with the opportunity to run a series of computational experiments on the machines of the institute.
