At the outset I thank God, the fountain of all wisdom, for all His counsel and
guidance all through my life and in particular during this research period.
I will be failing in my duty if I forget the help received from Dr. R. Gobi,
Faculty in the Department of Computer Applications, NIT, Tiruchirappalli, for
sparing his valuable time in the preparation of this thesis. My very sincere thanks are
due to him.
