Acknowledgments
This book is the result of my research carried out at the Faculty of Law and Economics at Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg, Germany, from 2004 to 2008. This work could not have been accomplished without the support of several persons. First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Prof. Dr. Christian Bierwirth, holder of the Chair of Production and Logistics at Martin-LutherUniversity, for pointing me to the interesting subject of container terminal operations planning, for supervising my research and for providing a constant source of inspiration and motivation throughout the years. I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Hans-Otto G¨unther for continuous discussion and for co-refereeing this thesis. Prof. Dr. Kap Hwan Kim and Dr. Young-Man Park have supported my research by kindly providing their benchmark suites. Many thanks go to all my colleagues who provided helpful comments on my research at conferences, in projects and in personal discussions. I would like to thank particularly the team of the Chair of Production and Logistics for their support, namely Susanne Berger, Angela Herrmann and Ute Lorenz. My final thanks go to my whole family, all my friends and in particular to Adrienne. You have unconditionally helped and encouraged me all the time throughout this endeavor. Thank you very much.
