Acknowledgments
This paper expresses views of the authors resulting from decades of research sponsored by from a wide range of sponsors (including the National Science Foundation and the National Institute for Standards and Technology, among others), and this funding has been sincerely appreciated. However, the opinions expressed here are those of the authors alone. In particular, where examples were included in this paper, this was done solely to facilitate the understanding of the approaches outlined in the paper and was not intended to be critical of specific individuals, groups, or agencies.
