This volume contains the reports from the workshopsheld at the 21st European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming - ECOOP 2007 - at Technische Universit ̈ atBerlin.Nineteenworkshopswereheldinthecourseofthis conference onJuly30andJuly31,2007,coveringalargespectrumofhotresearchtopics.As in previouseditions of ECOOP,numerousscientists fromacademia andindustry tookthechancetopresentinnovativeandtopicalideasinanenvironmento?ering optimal conditions for exciting discussions and fruitful interactions. The Workshop Reader which contains the reports from the workshops has beenasubstantialpartoftheECOOPconferenceformorethan10years.During the pre-conference phase the workshop organizers are invited to author a report about their workshops where they have the opportunity to describe the state of the art,the discussionsandthe trends inthe ?elds oftheirworkshop.Inaddition some of the organizational aspects may be discussed. This volume collects 19 reports from high-quality workshops whose topics were related to selected aspects in the ?eld of object-oriented programming and technology. Following the example of previous workshop readers we introduced some notions in order to establish thematic clusters. These notions are (1) P- gramming Languages, (2) Aspects, (3) Formal Techniques, Roles, Components, (4) Software Engineering, and (5) Applications. Three months after the conference we are now able to present the reports which describe the state of the art, the discussions and the relevant trends in the research ?elds addressed by the workshops. In sum, each of these reports thus contributes to a panoptic overview of the current tendencies in the lively ?eld of object-oriented programming and technology. Readers from academia and industry who want to be informed about the current developments in this research area thus can highly pro?t from this volume.

Computers are a fundamentally important tool in sport science research, sports performance analysis and, increasingly, in coaching and education programmes in sport. This book defines the field of ‘sport informatics’, explaining how computer science can be used to solve sport-related problems, in both research and applied aspects. Beginning with a clear explanation of the functional principles of hardware and software, the book examines the key functional areas in which computer science is employed in sport, including: knowledge discovery and database development data acquisition, including devices for measuring performance data motion tracking and analysis systems modelling and simulation match analysis systems e-learning and multimedia in sports education Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this book is important reading for any student, researcher or practitioner working in sport science, sport performance analysis, research methods in sport, applied computer science or informatics.

Practices associated with the culture of “scholarly” reading have been developed over many centuries and annotations themselves have become the subject of study, either as additional elements in connection with the original texts or as documents in their own right. The first “scholarly” reading techniques, seen historically from the 12th Century onwards, combine reading and writing in a process known as lettrure, involving both attentive reading and commentary. The Internet has transformed this activity, adding technical layers that relate both to the reading and writing process as well as to the circulation of texts; their potential and effective augmentation, diffusion, and reception. This book examines digitized reading and writing by focusing primarily on the conditions for the co-construction of scientific knowledge and its augmentation. The authors present numerous examples of studies and personal feedback concerning the intellectual process, open critical spaces, collaborative scholarly publishing, methods for the circulation and mediatization of knowledge, as well as the techniques and tools employed.
