Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has recently received a lot of attention as an augmentation technology in the ubiquitous computing domain. In this paper we present various sources of error in passive RFID systems, which can make the reliable operation of RFID augmented applications a challenge. To illustrate these sources of error, we equipped playing cards with RFID tags and measured the...

In the last decade, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has become popular in so many fields from military to industry applications. RFID tags have been embedded into many various products especially in logistics sector. A tag stores individual information of its attached object and an RFID reader communicates with the tag in radio frequencies to identify the object. This object to be monitor...

Purpose – This paper aims to assess the business value realised from radio frequency identification (RFID)enabled healthcare transformation projects as compared with other industries. The paper starts with a review of RFID technology in the healthcare industry and further extends to an in-depth analysis of mini-case studies collected from RFID Journal, a leading professional journal dedicated t...

In agriculture, it is required to establish and integrate food traceability systems and risk management systems in order to improve food safety in the entire food chain. The integrated traceability system for agricultural products was developed, based on innovative technology of RFID and mobile computing. In order to identify individual products on the distribution process efficiently, small RF...

Radiofrequency identi cation systems (RFID) have appeared in a variety of applications over the past decades. Examples include keyless entry badges and animal tagging. More recently, low cost, standardized RFID systems have become more widespread in supply chain management and industrial automation. In these domains the technology has the potential to automate many labor-intensive processes bec...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are increasingly becoming accepted for many EPC Network applications. However, RFID systems have some privacy problems. In this paper, a system for missing child location tracking in the EPC Network applications, is proposed. The proposed system improves security and privacy compared to existing applications, while also keeping in line with traditio...

Low cost Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are increasingly being deployed in industry and commerce. These contactless devices have raised public concern regarding violation of privacy and information security. There is a growing need in the RFID community to discover and develop techniques and methods to overcome several problems posed by the above-mentioned concerns. This paper pr...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has a lot of potential to bridge the gap between the virtual world of enterprise IT systems and the real world of products and logistical units. In this paper we analyse the requirements RFID middleware solutions have to meet in order to manage large deployments of RFID readers and the amount of RFID data these readers capture. We also present th...

RFID technology has become popular in many applications; however, most of the RFID products lack security related functionality due to the hardware limitation of the low-cost RFID tags. In 2009, Chien and Laih proposed an RFID authentication protocol based on error correction codes (ECC) to secure RFID systems with untraceability, which is one of the most critical privacy issues on RFID. In thi...

We examine the use of RFID (Radio Frequency Id) technology on supply chain management (SCM) systems for a retail store chain. RFID technology may trigger frequent activities in the supply chain such as inventory processing and reordering. We classify the RFID readings according to the transactions they may trigger. We then use the classification to estimate the information processing load rate....
