Summary

From September 7 to 10, 2008 about 30 experts from computer science and sport science (see Appendix B) met at the Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik in Dagstuhl to discuss interdisciplinary issues in the area of computer science in sport. Five topics were selected for discussion (see Appendix A): doping, modeling and simulation, pervasive computing, robotics and sport technology. A total of 17 presentations dealt with selected projects and issues in the above‐mentioned fields.

• Doping – an individual decision or a social phenomenon?
• Modeling and simulation – between reduction and abundance
• Robotics – two directions of transfer: from humans to robots and back
• Pervasive computing – technology meets human needs
• Sport technology – the view of practice
• Mission statement

Conclusions

The evaluation of the seminar showed that the seminar

• inspired new ideas for further work (research, development or teaching),
• inspired joint projects, joint development, or joint publications,
• led to insights from neighboring fields or communities and
• identified new research directions.
