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.

Notes
- 1.
There is a large body of literature on movement analysis with a medical kinetics perspective, studying the movement of body parts. Such movement is not covered in this book.
