Dezember 2003AcknowledgementsFinishing this dissertation would have been impossible without the help of many persons. Iwould like to express my gratitude to all of them. However, it is impossible to name all ofmy voluntary and sometimes involuntary helpers.My special thanks go to Wolfgang Schr der-Preikschat who gave me opportunity and roomto develop my own ideas. His research group at Otto-von-Guericke-Universit t Magdeburgwas the perfect place for me and my research project. Beside my advisor I have to thank mycolleagues Guido Domnick, Andreas Gal, Jens Lauterbach, AndrØ Maa , Daniel Mahren-holz, and Michael Schulze from this group. They frequently had to use the Consul programwhich is a substantial result of this thesis. I am grateful that they kept sending bug reportsinstead of deleting it from the disk right away when it still did not work as expected afterthe nal bug x. Olaf and Ute Spinczyk, who were my rst colleagues in the group, hadnot only to live with my chaos for about ve years, they also were rst time readers of mydrafts.
