Abstract

This chapter constitutes the introduction to this doctoral thesis and to the framework of the work carried out. It gives a brief approach to the contents of this document, and it also describes the main motivation to conduct this research. The objectives and contributions are summarized, and the structure of this document is outlined. Finally, the framework of this doctoral thesis is described, and the publications supporting this dissertation are shown.

If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?
