Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems are becoming increasingly popular for automatic object identification and supply chain management. Wide acceptance of this technology has led to several new areas of research, one of which is RFID-enhanced wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Such networks have the ability to self-organize, identify tagged objects, perform localization, and carry out se...

The application of RFID technology is growing fast in university libraries, mainly reflected self-help borrowing and return, literature navigation, book inventory. Based on the practice Jianghan University Library, this paper explores path method applying intelligent construction resources such as readers profile, co-construction sharing. (Radio Frequency Identification) a kind non-contact auto...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is currently being tested and partially deployed for use in supply-chain and retail-shop management at the item level. It is seen as a means to enhance efficiency and introduce new functionality in products such as intelligent fridges or washing machines, who may query their contents. However, concern has arisen about the possibility of (mis)usin...

Logistics processes of perishable food in the supply chain include the distribution activities and the real time temperature monitoring to fulfil the cold chain requirements. The paper presents the use of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology as an identification tool of receiving and shipping activities in the cold store. At the same time, the use of RFID data loggers with temperatu...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is an automated identification technology which is widely used to identify and track all kind of objects. However, it is a challenging task to design an authentication protocol because of the limited resource of Lightweight RFID tags. Recently, a lightweight RFID authentication protocol and an ownership transfer of RFID tags are presented by Kuls...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has been widely used in the field of construction during the last two decades. Basically, RFID facilitates the control on a wide variety of processes in different stages of the lifecycle of a building, from its conception to its inhabitance. The main objective of this paper is to present a review of RFID applications in the construction industry,...

Received Jun 4, 2013 Revised Jul 25, 2013 Accepted Aug 22, 2013 Although both the electronic health record (EHR) and the electronic medical record (EMR) store an individual’s computerized health information and the terminologies are often used interchangeably, there are some differences between them. Three primary approaches in Automated Identification Technology (AIT) are barcoding, radio freq...

In RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) systems, a tag reader communicates with tags, reads their identification codes, and accesses their related database through network infrastructure. There are many research activities in RFID systems for industrial applications such as delivery, manufacturing, and so on, but there is few on mobile devices such as cellular phones and PDAs. This paper prese...

Recently, the use of RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) for object identification is used more often, but the tag collision problem by the use of a radio frequency still exists. Therefore, in this paper, we analyzed tag identification time to minimize tag collisions and improve tag identification time by applying various tag anti-collision algorithms in the suggested method. As a result, we d...

This paper reviews the background of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems as well as the ethical foundations of individual privacy. A number of applications were also explored with the intention of identifying the technology’s benefits and possible misuses. The authors offer an overview and discussion of the most important ethical issues concerning RFID, describe, and examine some meth...
