RFID holds the promise of real-time identifying, locating, tracking and monitoring physical objects without line of sight, and can be used for a wide range of pervasive computing applications. To achieve these goals, RFID data has to be collected, filtered, and transformed into semantic application data. RFID data, however, contains false readings and duplicates. Such data cannot be used direct...

Our everyday environments may soon be pervaded with radio frequency identification (RFID) tags integrated in physical objects. These RFID tags can store a digital representation of the physical object and transmit it wirelessly to pervasive, context-aware applications running on mobile devices. However, communicating with RFID tags is prone to many failures inherent to the technology. This hind...

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) recently has gained enormous attention in various industry sectors, the media, and in academic research. This paper focuses in early RFID applications in the retail supply chain. It takes a quick look at the available literature and then explains the technological issues including the need for standardization and the challenges on the data, network, and app...

The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has a diverse base of applications, but it is also prone to security threats. There are different types of security attacks which limit the range of the RFID applications. For example, deploying the RFID networks in insecure environments could make the RFID system vulnerable to many types of attacks such as spoofing attack, location traceabil...

This paper focus on the extended application of RFID to container transportation system. Based on the overview of common application of RFID technology to container, this paper studied the possibility of RFID applications to container transportation system. We categorized the application of RFID to container transportation into four hierarchies from the angle of cost and application area. It th...

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...

RFID (radio frequency identification) technology has already proved its use in various areas such as security, library, airline, military, animal forms, sports and other areas. RFID is being used for various applications in many industries. For example, equipment tracking, access controls including personal and vehicle, logistic, baggage, items security in departmental store. The main advantage...
