This qualitative case study seeks to understand and explain the deployment of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems in two countries (i.e., in Taiwan for the adoption of electric scooters and in Finland for supporting glass bottle recycling) using the “Technology-Organization-Environment” theoretical framework. This study also seeks to highlight the relevance and importance of pursuing ...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) uses wireless radio frequency technology to automatically identify tagged objects. Despite the extensive development of the RFID technology in many areas, tags collisions still remain a major problem. This issue is known as the collision problem and can be solved by using anti-collision techniques. Current probabilistic anticollision approaches suffer from ...

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a new technology making use of radio frequency to do non-touching, two-way data transit between the reader and the electronic tag to identify target and exchange data. Because it is non-touching; it can work from long distance; it is fit to work in an unfavorable environment; it can identify moving target, it is widely used in industry, commerce, storage...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a promising technology for automated non-line-of-sight object identification. Traditional research of RFID middleware does not concern RFID related integration with enterprise information systems. Considering the requirements of RFID middleware and business process integration with enterprise information systems, an integration framework for RFID middlew...

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is a contactless, automatic identification wireless technology primarily used for identifying and tracking of objects, goods and humans. RFID is not only limited to identification and tracking applications. This proliferating wireless technology has been deployed in numerous securities sensitive applications such as access control, e-passports, contactless ...

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...

This study presents the design of a compact Radio Frequency Identification chipless tag, with reduced size, important quality factor and improved results. The proposed prototype is based on Substrate Integrated Waveguide technology using the Half-Mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide technique to reduce the tag size by the half and preserve the same response. Further, the operating frequency band...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has received considerable attention from practitioners, driven by mandates from major retailers and the United States Department of Defense. RFID technology promises numerous benefits in the supply chain, such as increased visibility, security and efficiency. Despite such attentions and the anticipated benefits, RFID is not well-understood and ma...

Reader network planning (RNP) problem of radio frequency identification (RFID) system is a combinational optimization problem. In this study, we propose a genetic algorithm (GA) to solve this RNP problem. We have tested the proposed GA on several RNP problems and compare with a particle swarm optimization (PSO) method by solving the same RNPs. The comparison results demonstrate that the propose...

The Auto-ID Center is developing low-cost radio frequency identification (RFID) based systems with the initial application as next generation bar-codes. We describe RFID technology, summarize our approach and our research, and most importantly, describe the research opportunities in RFID for experts in cryptography and information security. The common theme in low-cost RFID systems is that comp...
