Acknowledgements<br />
I would like to express my deepest <strong>and</strong> sincere gratitude to many people who have continuously<br />
supported my endeavor here at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Without their great help <strong>and</strong><br />
generous support, I could not have accomplished this journey.<br />
First <strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong>emost, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Professor Richard de Neufville <strong>for</strong><br />
not only supervising my thesis but also supporting my endeavor at <strong>MIT</strong>. He has always led me in<br />
the right direction with his superb guidance <strong>and</strong> crucial insights as well as his tremendously<br />
interesting two academic courses. I could not have imagined having a better advisor <strong>and</strong> mentor <strong>for</strong><br />
my graduate study <strong>and</strong> research.<br />
I also would like to thank Vivek Ashok Sakhrani, a Ph.D. c<strong>and</strong>idate <strong>for</strong> Engineering Systems<br />
Division, <strong>for</strong> his generous advice <strong>and</strong> help <strong>for</strong> this thesis. A series of discussions with him provided<br />
a broad perspective <strong>for</strong> this thesis.<br />
I am also very grateful to Krista Featherstone <strong>for</strong> her great supports, encouragement <strong>for</strong> my<br />
academic life. Thanks to her help, I was able to manage to overcome adverse challenges.<br />
I am also very grateful to all my valuable friends <strong>and</strong> colleagues in TPP who all made my two-year<br />
endeavor an invaluable <strong>and</strong> precious experience. Above all, I would like to thank my classmates,<br />
Alex<strong>and</strong>re Jacquillat, Arthur Gueneau, Benyue Liu, Cuicui Chen, Dominic McConnachie, Michael<br />
Hagerty, Michael Bredehoeft, Tanvir Madan <strong>and</strong> Paul Kishimoto.<br />
Also I thank my friends in Japanese Association of <strong>MIT</strong>, Eiji Iwase, Kosuke Takahashi, Masahiro<br />
Ono, Michinao Hashimoto, Sho Sato, Takuto Ishimatsu, Tatsuo Okubo, <strong>and</strong> Yusuke Kobayashi, <strong>for</strong><br />
all the camaraderie, entertainment, <strong>and</strong> caring they provided.<br />
I also would like to thank all current <strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong>mer graduate students whom I have met at <strong>MIT</strong>. Their<br />
kindness <strong>and</strong> friendship have enabled me to have a fulfilling time.<br />
Last but not the least, I would like to thank my parents Kazuo Matsumoto <strong>and</strong> Matsue Matsumoto,<br />
<strong>for</strong> giving birth to me at the first place <strong>and</strong> supporting me throughout my life.<br />
