Firstly let me say that it has been a privilege to have worked with the team at the Geo-Database Management centre at the Delft University of Technology. The time I spent doing research at Jafalaan was one of the most enjoyable and stimulating of my (fairly long) working career. Peter van Oosterom has provided advice, guidance and direction to myself and the others of the team and created a happy work environment. I thank Maria Thompson for her assistance in every phase of this project. She supported my embarking on what was to be 8 years of effort, in addition to her full-time job and mine, and has continued to do so right up to completion. It would have been impossible without her support and in particular, her eagle-eyed proof reading. Thank you to my parents Frances and Jim Thompson. They insisted from the early days that I take the path of university education in spite of the significant financial burden this placed on them. Thank you also to David Pullar, of the University of Queensland, who started me off on the project, and suggested the line of research to me. Further, thank you for all the assistance and suggestions you have given in the years between.
