The moving objects in Table

were tracked for a wide range of purposes and
using many different tracking technologies. The primary focus of the research cov-
ered here is the development of generic methods for the analysis of movement data,
and not the understanding of a specific movement process
per se
, with respect to a
specific application field. Hence, in no single case was real world movement data
captured explicitly, but rather collaborations were sought with researchers collect-
ing data for their own research in movement ecology, environmental monitoring, or
transportation research. This is important to note as all real data covered in this topic
were collected for the specific purposes of the application scientists, and not for the
methodological research building the focus of this topic.
The evaluation of proposed methods, however, often involved the simulation
of movement data under experimental conditions. To that end, synthetic data was
