Acknowledgments
I would like to thank all the people that have supported me during these past years and in particular during the development of this thesis. First at all, I want to thank my supervisor, Andreas Nürnberger, who gave me the opportunity of writing this thesis and supported all my research endeavours. I am especially grateful for the freedom that I had being able to choose the direction of my research for my PhD and to carry out my research activities. I also want to thank Birger Larsen and Ian Ruthven for kindly agreeing to review my thesis. Thank you for taking time to read it and to give feedback. I furthermore thank my colleagues and the whole staff of the faculty of computer science at the Otto-von-Guericke-University for the pleasant working atmosphere. I would further like to give special thanks to all the colleagues and students that – in one way or another – were involved in some parts of this work. In particular, I value Thomas Low and Marcus Nitsche.
