In this paper, the more successful techniques will be reviewed. Then a prospective for the near future of the market and hot topics in which invest research resources will be suggested.}, organization = {The authors thanks to the Spanish Education and Science Ministry for funding their R&D activities through the projects TEC2005-08218-C02-02 and TEC2007-67987-C02-01 are thanked for their support.
