Acknowledgements
Finally, we want to offer our thanks to Isabelle Mesguen, from INSA Rennes,
whose administrative and organisational skills constituted a major contribution to
the successful running of the Action. It was always a joy to work with COST’s
Science Officer Karina Marcus and Administrative Officer Andrea Tortajada.
This book is the product of our good fortune in convincing so many top
researchers to participate and lend their work and their time to it. We sincerely hope
you enjoy it and that it is useful for your work as a researcher or practitioner.
One last aspect of the book that we would like to bring to your consideration is
the number of ideas it presents, some of which we hope will serve as inspiration on
open problems and future research avenues.
Lastly, we want to thank Ronan Nugent from Springer, who with his enthusiasm
for the book and infinite patience contributed greatly to its creation.
