This report documents my work on a master degree in computer science at Department of Informatics (Ifi), University of Oslo (UiO) in 1996 and 1997. The work was done at the University's Center for Information Technology Services (USIT).
... and I wish to thank ...
My internal supervisors have been Fritz Albregtsen and Per Grøttum. My external supervisor, Ingvil Hovig, has not only been a clever advisor managing to make this write-o-fobic finish his report, but she has also been a great friend. I owe her a lot. Another great source of inspiration is Hanne S. Finstad, who has agreed to marry me as soon as I finish this work. :-) Marius Midtvik at USIT has come up with pointers to several relevant documents and Web sites. While I'm at it, I would also like to say hello to Glenn Lines, and thank him for never saying ``no'' to another beer at the campus pub.
At the contrary, I would never like to thank that infamous net-lag that every now and then worked hard to drive me mad while I was searching the Web for information.
A postscript version, and a HTML version of this document, are available at The same location also contains source code to the implemented programs, along with a pointer to a demonstration page for the Java video applet.
