Workingonthedoctoralthesiswasatoughendeavor,especiallyafterIchangedmy
job in between and the thesis became my “private” matter. However, seeing that
thereislightattheendofthetunnelafterlongyearsofhardwork,makesmevery
emotional and proud.
First of all, I want to thank God, the Most Beneficent and the Most Merciful.
Without Him I could not achieve anything. In times of desperation, I knew that
there was a door to knock on.
Secondly, I would like to express my gratitude to Prof. Dr. Axel Küpper who
gave me the opportunity to work in his team and provided the professional envi-
ronmenttodomyresearch.Healwaysmotivatedmetopursueadoctor’sdegree.In
the first five years of my professional career, I learned so much working at the
research group Service-centric Networking and gained valuable experience for the
future.
In addition, my appreciation goes to Prof. Dr. Atilla Elçi and Prof. Dr. Thomas
Magedanz for their support and guidance. Moreover, I would like to thank my
colleagues at Service-centric Networking and the students who collaborated with
me and supported my research. Furthermore, I do not want to forget Hans
EinsiedlerfromTelekomInnovationLaboratorieswhowasamentortomeatwork
and played a major role in my decision to finish this thesis.
I want to say a special and sincere “thank you” to my parents, especially my
lovelymother.Theyalwayssupportedandhelpedmeduringmyentireacademicas
wellasprofessionalcareer,andtheywerealwaysthereformylittlefamilyandme.
The persons who I owe the most debt of gratitude are my wife Berrin and my
two lovely children Hubeyb and Meryem. Berrin never left me alone; she always
believedinmeandsupportedmesincedayoneofourmarriage.Especiallythelast
year, which was very exhausting and not that easy, she never gave up on my
professional goals. I love you all so much; all my efforts are just for you three!
Lastbutnotleast,Iwanttothankmyparentsinlaw,mygrandmother,myother
family members, and my friends.
