This position paper presents an approach on how to coordinate mobile RFID agents using a blackboard architecture based on Complex Event Processing.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is appearing as a favorite technology for automated identification, which can be widely applied to many applications such as e-passport, supply chain management and ticketing. However, researchers have found many security and privacy problems along RFID technology. In recent years, many researchers are interested in RFID authentication protocols and their s...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has helped many organizations to reduce cost. Nevertheless, there are challenges and issues associated with RFID adoption. The most common internal challenge for many organizations is justifying the investment and modification of processes. However, there are external issues such as privacy and security that companies need to deal with. The focus...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is having a major impact on the health care industry. By attaching radio frequency tags to different entities (people and objects), RFID technology can provide identification, tracking, location, security and other capabilities. The goal of this chapter is to show how RFID technology can be used to reduce medical mistakes, improve patient safety ...

Recently, Radio frequency identification (RFID) has been an important and ubiquitous infrastructure technology for smart work system. As RFID tags are affixed to all items, they may be used to support various useful services. Security mechanisms for RFID systems, such as authentication and encryption, are therefore of utmost importance. However, there are many risks involved, for example user p...

The problem of technology management is presented on example of Radio Frequency Identification. Research questions were formulated and methodology for assessment of RFID was presented. Paper is focused on strategic aspects of assessment of RFID technology. Therefore, application of portfolio method was proposed. Original set of questions for evaluation criteria was proposed and tailored to supp...

This chapter explores how a mobile tracking technology is able to further streamline the integrated supply chain. Previous technologies which have attempted to integrate suppliers, manufactures, distributors and retailers have lacked the flexibility and efficiency necessary to justify the prohibiting costs. Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology however enables various organizations a...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has recently received a lot of focus as an augmentation Technology in the Ubiquitous Computing domain. RFID system uses Tags which are small, wireless devices that help in identifying objects and people. When read range permits, clandestine scanning of tags is a plausible threat. In consequence, a person carrying an RFID tag effectively broadcasts a fixed s...

Recently, the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology attracts the world market attention as essential technology for ubiquitous environment. The RFID market has focused on transponders and reader development. But that concern has shifted to RFID software like as high-valued e-business applications, RFID middleware and related development tools. However, due to the high sensitivity of ...

Radio Frequency Identification technology was originally invented for military uses. From the 80’s, commercial RFID product started to be obtainable and that they were chiefly applied in areas of chains of offer, transportation, manufacturing sector, personnel access, animal tagging, toll tax collection, especially in associate degree indoor atmosphere. The development and implementation of RFI...
