% The abstractpage environment sets up everything on the page except
% the text itself.  The title and other header material are put at the
% top of the page, and the supervisors are listed at the bottom.  A
% new page is begun both before and after.  Of course, an abstract may
% be more than one page itself.  If you need more control over the
% format of the page, you can use the abstract environment, which puts
% the word "Abstract" at the beginning and single spaces its text.

\section*{Acknowledgments}

I would like to thank Alvin W. Drake of the EECS department for giving
students like myself the opportunity to do a thesis project with so much
freedom and independent thought.

I would also like to thank Edward Moriarty and Jon C. Haass, the CDS project 
managers, for their patience and commitment over the last two years.

Thanks also to the CDS project team members, from whom I have learned 
as much as from any group of people at MIT.
And to the UROP office, the Department of Mathematics,
and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, whose
funding has supported the CDS project team.

In addition, to Project Athena, DEC, and IBM for development support
vital to CDS.

And to Mom, Dad, Angela, and Jacqueline, for constantly checking up on the
progress of this thesis.
