The document discusses the relationship between computer science and sport science from a philosophy of science perspective. It defines both fields and explores different types of cooperation between them. Specifically, it examines applying computer tools to sport science questions, integrating sport knowledge into computer science, and utilizing integration results in both fields. The document proposes that sport informatics is a set of interdisciplinary research programs at the interface of these two fields.
