Abstract

In this chapter, we look back at what we have done in this book. Section 9.1 briefly discussed the motivation behind the work, and lists the main contributions from Chaps. 27. Additionally, we provide a slightly broader perspective on the presented content and its relation to the research field in which we operate. This leads to suggestions for future research directions in Sect. 9.2.
