Abstract

In recent years technology has been used as an engine to improve the performance of the players and the preparation offered by trainers in a great variety of sports. In some of them, such as football, technology has contributed enormously to improving monitoring of players so as to assess their performance and to prepare tactics and strategies that are so essential nowadays for making the difference, before facing a match. In this paper we present SIDANE, an expert system capable of detecting important situations in football, from a tactics point of view and assessing if the players involved took a good decision from the point of view of the trainer. The SIDANE reasoning engine uses Fuzzy Logic with the aim of tackling uncertainty and facilitating the definition of rules close to the way in which the trainer communicates with his or her players. In this way the distance between expert and machine is greatly narrowed. The results yielded show how powerful SIDANE is as a starting point for the automatic analysis of important situations in team sports.
