I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Kazuhiko Kawamura, for his sage guidance and support. I would not have been able to compile this thesis without him, and he has provided me with insight and direction since the day I first started graduate school. I would also like to thank Dr. David Noelle and Dr. Mitch Wilkes for helping me learn that knowing how to ask the correct question in a tough situation is sometimes more important than finding its answer. Flo Fottrell deserves my thanks for helping me throughout my graduate career. She has assisted me in finding my way around the school, and always gives the right advice. Similarly, I would like to acknowledge my fellow students in the CIS for all their help, especially when it came to developing my Linux administrator skills. My parents receive my deepest gratitude for their rock-solid support and for instilling in me a love of knowledge, and my brother for teaching me humility of that knowledge. Finally, I would like to thank Shazi Jiang for standing beside me throughout my MS career. I couldn't have done it without her.
