Here's one thing that's certain in the next 10 years: We will put "the smarts" in everything: smart homes, smart cars, smart health, smart robots, smart science (confronting the data deluge), smart crowds and human-computer systems, smart interaction (virtual and augmented reality).
The relationships between each ecosystem attribute and pressure should be established formally by confronting the data (or model output) with alternative mathematical functions and performing a model selection analysis.

In this study we examine the problems that currently confront the data and resource infrastructure underlying the biomedical sciences.
Recently, Bennett [ 7] confronted the data suggesting that FMS patients have an increased sympathetic tone with "an inverse association between pain sensitivity and blood pressure" and considered polymorphism of the gene encoding catechol-O-methyl transferase as only a part of the fibromyalgia genetic diversity.
We impose no assumption on the distribution of the missing data and we confront the missing data problem by using a worst case scenario approach.
Across the public and private sector, organizations are confronting the responsible use of data, and exploring ways in which data can be applied to a wide range of social issues, needs, and challenges.
To overcome these problems, the mixed approach [5, 21, 40, 42] combines the two previous approaches by confronting the constructed schema with the data source schema.
That is, after confronting the prior knowledge with the data one can be more certain about the obtained results when compared to frequentist method.
The country's economic trajectory heading into November is probably unchangeable at this point, which means that nothing the president does now is likely to alter the grim data confronting the electorate.
It follows that a weakness of the model framework, in its current form, is the difficulty in confronting the model with quantitative data other than in regards to its qualitative predictions.
