Topics for Zadar'21 [Was: W3C Open Athletics (opentrack) CG Call]

Hi Duje, 

Thanks for your proposal in your previous email. I like the idea of discussing about the ethical aspects and those technologies that may help athletes in (un)fair way.  

I would like to submit another proposal. I liked Mirko's stories about how Tilastopaja found anomalies in athlete's performances along the seasons and just before key competitions. So, another session could address data processing to detect those anomalies. We could explore tools, algorithms to detect frauds or errors thanks to ICTs. 

Linked to this, we could include virtual competitions that becoming popular these days (Andy Robinson and his team have experience with this). There are many people around the world performing challenges on their own, and GPX is an open format that could be easily modified.  There are also "trusted" services to confirm those unofficial "records" (e.g., FKT [1]). 

This proposal could be focused on data analysis, but also to discuss this new paradigm of virtual competition.

Best,

Martin

p.s especially since in Zadar we are hoping to bring together in one place the producers, users and regulators of these technologies so representatives of all involved parties would already be there to discuss the matter...
