Reducing the cost of comparisons within conditional transfers of control
William C. Kreahling, David B. Whalley · 2005
The Office of Graduate Studies has verified and approved the above named committee members. This work is dedicated to Dr. Alice McRae, the one who started me down this road in the first place. And to my family, who supported me through the good times and the bad. It’s those bad ones that count. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Steve Hines, Prasad Kulkarni and Clint Whaley, for all your support, technical and moral. I think you guys understand the heart attack! I would also like to thank my advisor, Dr. David Whalley. This work could not have been done without his help.
