The present volume aims to be a comprehensive survey on the
derivation of the equations of motion, both in General Relativity
as well as in alternative gravity theories. The topics covered
range from the description of test bodies, to self-gravitating
(heavy) bodies, to current and future observations. Emphasis is put
on the coverage of various approximation methods (e.g., multipolar,
post-Newtonian, self-force methods) which are extensively used in
the context of the relativistic problem of motion. Applications
discussed in this volume range from the motion of binary systems --
and the gravitational waves emitted by such systems -- to
observations of the galactic center. In particular the impact of
choices at a fundamental theoretical level on the interpretation of
experiments is highlighted. This book provides a broad and
up-do-date status report, which will not only be of value for the
experts working in this field, but also may serve as a guideline
for students with background in General Relativity who like to
enter this field.
