We discuss how the contents of the rest of the book relate to these topics. In particular, we show how themes have evolved into particular branches of research and where the book contents fit with this. We also discuss the areas of research that are relevant, but are not represented within the book chapters.application/pdfen© 2017 Springer International Publishing.This is the author's accepted version.
