\chapter*{About this Series}

The Kiel Computer Science Series (KCSS) covers dissertations,
habilitation theses, lecture notes, textbooks, surveys, collections,
handbooks, \etc written at the Department of Computer Science at
Kiel University.  It was initiated in 2011 to
support authors in the dissemination of their work in electronic and
printed form, without restricting their rights to their work. The
series provides a unified appearance and aims at high-quality
typography.  The KCSS is an open access series; all series titles are
electronically available free of charge at the department's website.
In addition, authors are encouraged to make printed copies available
at a reasonable price, typically with a print-on-demand service.
% set by the respective author(s).
%The Series was initiated in the year 2011.
%It provides a unified appearance and aims at high-quality typography.

\noindent%
Graphical models help to understand complex systems.
However, with the user interaction paradigms established today,
activities such as creating, maintaining or browsing graphical models can be
very tedious.
%Valuable engineering time is wasted with archaic activities such
%as manual layout of nodes and edges.
This thesis presents an
approach to enhance productivity by focusing on the pragmatics of model-based
design.
\par
The contribution includes an interpretation of the notion of pragmatics,
orthogonal to syntax and semantics in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE). A
proposal on pragmatics-aware modeling is given, employing
sophisticated automated layout algorithms
to close the gap between MDE and graph drawing theory. Thus, a view management logic
presents customized views on models.
\par
These concepts get illustrated with the open source Kiel Integrated Environment
for Layout Eclipse Rich Client (KIELER) with multiple
applications including editing and simulation and shows how view management
helps to tame complexity.

Hauke A.\,L. Fuhrmann studied Computer Science at Kiel University
until 2005. In an EU Framework
Programme 6 research project in the aerospace domain he worked with and experienced the
limitations in usability of state-of-the practice graphical modeling tooling. This emerged the
enthusiasm for the topic of pragmatics as discussed in this dissertation.
Since 2011 he applies modeling in the railway domain.

What is the worst overall degradation due to the absence of central authority
or a lack of cooperation
when individuals (called \term{players}) use or form a network?
\enquote{Distributed operation} is our positive notion of
\enquote{absence of central authority} and \enquote{lack of cooperation}.
\par
All scenarios studied in this thesis have in common
that players
have to allocate resources
in order to perform certain tasks,
and that each possible configuration can be evaluated
from the perspective of each player (\term{individual cost})
and from a global perspective (\term{social cost}).
\term{Equilibria} are configurations in which players
do not have or do not see a way to improve their individual cost.
The \term{price of anarchy} is the social cost of a worst-case equilibrium
divided by that of a configuration with minimum social cost.
\par
In Part~I,
a network is given and players use it for routing.
The players' cost functions express the delay experienced
due to congested links.
In Part~II,
the network itself is formed in a distributed manner.
Building links on the one hand incurs a cost
but on the other hand also has a positive effect
since it improves connectivity.
Both aspects are incorporated into the players' cost functions.

Please adjust the length of this text carefully
in order to fill an amount of space that makes the back of the book good-looking.
The blue area should stretch far enough to the bottom,
but should not get too close to the text about the Series,
outside of the blue~area.

Here is some more text to fill the space.
This text should be about the contents of the book.
It should help the book catch the (potential) reader's interest.

Please adjust the length of this text carefully
in order to fill an amount of space that makes the back of the book good-looking.
The blue area should stretch far enough to the bottom,
but should not get too close to the text about the Series,
outside of the blue~area.
\par
Here is some more text to fill the space.
This text should be about the contents of the book.
It should help the book catch the (potential) reader's interest.
A text as boring as this one will not be well suited.
\par
But we have to fill the space, so here is some more text.
As stated earlier, the length of this text should be adjusted
so that the blue area gives a nice impression.
This goal has almost been reached now.
Just one more line, and we are done.
Just one more line.

Here is enough place for a short CV.
The CV should be long enough to fill all the space
to the right of the photo.
The photo is optional, but a short CV should be here.
With or without photo.
Moreover, the text should cover all the space to the side of the photo
and may even stretch beyond the photo.
The number of lines right to the photo should be given
as an argument to the \lstinline|wrapfigure| environment, here 6.
