Real-time football analysis with StreamTeam

In the last years, the analysis of data in sports has received considerable attention, especially due to the wide availability of unobtrusive wearable sensors. While most approaches focus on the (post-hoc) monitoring of individuals, a big and still largely unsolved challenge is the monitoring of the tactical behavior and tactical compliance of entire teams in real-time. In this paper, we introduce STREAMTEAM, a novel and extensible workflow-based approach to analyze data streams and to detect complex team events in real-time. We show the application of STREAMTEAM to data sets coming from sensors attached to players of football teams.
