Abstract des Autors

30 years ago, in 1975, an international congress entitled "Kreative Sportinformatik" (Creative Sports Informatics) was organized in Graz, Austria. At this time, and in particular in the framework of the congress, Sports Informatics mainly meant Sports Information with special emphasis on activities in documentation and dissemination of information. Throughout the last 30 years Sports Informatics or Computer Science in Sport has become a scientific discipline in a more general meaning of informatics/computer science. Working areas have evolved, national and international associations have been founded, journals are published and congresses are organized regularly to present research activities. The paper gives an overview of the history of the first 30 years of Computer Science in Sport, of the development of its research areas and its integration into university education. Verf.-Referat
