Abstract
Imagine that we are in a great library filled with thousands of books and we want to find all the books about, for example, butterflies. These books are of different authors, issued over considerable span of years, having various titles and are placed on some shelves of many bookcases, and it just so happens that there is no one around who could help us (Fig. 1.1).
