Abstract

This book has a thesis, it makes the case for Computational Movement Analysis (CMA), as an interdisciplinary umbrella for contributions from a wide range of fields aiming for a better understanding of movement processes. This first chapter explains why this inclusive umbrella is a contribution, what it involves, and which fields it borrows methods and concepts from.
