Title of Document: QUANTUM MECHANICS AND QUANTUM INFORMATION THEORY
"... The principle aim of this dissertation is to investigate the philosophical application of quantum information theory to interpretational issues regarding the theory of quantum mechanics. Recently, quantum information theory has emerged as a potential source for such an interpretation. The main quest ..."

the world is made of information, and quantum Bayesianism – fail as philosophical interpretations of quantum mechanics. However, the information-theoretic approach of Clifton, Bub, and Halvorson introduces Einstein’s distinction between principle theories and constructive theories, arguing that quantum

"... Abstract: Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are two recently-developed technologies that uniquely function without xed infrastructure support, and sense at scales, resolutions, and durations previously not possible. While both offer great potential in many applicati ..."

applications, developing software for these types of networks is extremely dffcult, preventing their wide-spread use. Three primary challenges are (1) the high level of dynamics within the network in terms of changing wireless links and node hardware con gurations, (2) the wide variety of hardware present

I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Torsten Braun, head of the Computer Network and Distributed Systems group (RVS), for supervising this work and for his insightful advises. Prof. Dr. Torsten Braun encouraged and motivated me to publish my research results and he provided me the opportunity to present the work on various conferences, for which I thank him. I would also like to thank Prof. Dr. Roger Wattenhofer, responsible for the Koreferat of this work. Also, Prof. Dr. Oscar Nierstrasz who was willing to be the co-examinator of this work deserves many thanks. Many thanks go to my colleagues of the RVS group and of the IAM for our various interesting discussions about all kinds of topics and for making the institute a very pleasant and friendly place to work at. Special thanks go to David Steiner, Marc Steinemann, Matthias Scheidegger, Florian Baumgartner, Ruy De Oliveira, and Attila Weyland. There are many students who worked with me and helped a lot in developing and implementing. Among them I especially thankful to Thomas Bernoulli,
