opportunities

Definition

Open directions worth pursuing, almost always paired as "challenges and opportunities." The phrase reliably marks a survey or position paper: the contribution is an organised map of what has been done and what remains, not a new experimental result. Useful for orienting yourself in an unfamiliar area, with the caveat that the opportunities section is where the authors' own agenda shows most clearly.
