Dedication by Students:

"I would like to thank Prof. Dr. S. M. Aqil Burney who supervised my undergraduate thesis, and introduced me to the fascinating and intriguing realm of probablistic reasoning. What I have achieved in the form of this publication, was made possible by the longing and craving for new challenges and knowledge which he induced in me. He was and shall remain a beacon of light for all those who follow me in my stead."
