Language advocacy is a popular pastime with many programmers, but what many fail to realize is that programming languages are like tools: each is good at some things and next to useless at others. Java, inspired as it was by prior art like C and Smalltalk, sports a solid general-purpose syntax that gets the job done with the minimum of fuss in the majority of cases. Unfortunately, there will always be those areas that, by their very nature, demand something a little more specialized.

Juli 2008 Tag des Kolloquiums: 28. Oktober 2008 Dekan: Prof. Dr. Joachim Weickert Vorsitzender der Pr¨ufungskommission: Prof. Dr. Reinhard Wilhelm 1. Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. Helge Scheidig 2. Berichterstatter: Prof. Bernd Finkbeiner, PhD Akademischer Mitarbeiter: Dr. Mark Hillebrand Acknowledgements First of all I thank my primary advisor Professor Helge Scheidig for the unique opportu- nity to participate in his research. I am also very grateful for the excellent supervision and the guidance Professor Bernd Finkbeiner gave me during my research. Without his clear guidelines on the methodology, this thesis would never have been possible. My colleges Sebastian Sch¨oningand Reinhart Spurk also greatly contributed to this work - thank you. Words cannot express my gratitude towards my wife Wiebke. Her never-ending fight for my success was the best support for which I could ever have hoped. I am very grateful to my three proof readers, Calogero Cumbo, Christian Franze and Robert Koch. To Robert I owe thanks for his friendship and personal support over the last decade. Since my research and the writing of this thesis was conducted while I was a full-time employee of the German Armed Forces Command Control and Information System Reg- iment (GAFCCIS Rgt) in Cologne and later of the NATO Programming Centre (NPC) in Glons (Belgium), I would like to thank all my superior officers for their support.
