In this paper, we propose two approaches to protect privacy in the 'Digitally Named World', which is the environment in which 'radio frequency ID's (RFIDs) are attached to any objects in the world, and any objects in the real world can be found by the readers of the RFIDs and the networked database system. One is the approach to conceal the permanent ID under a private ID that users give. The o...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems are emerging as the primary object identification mechanism, especially in supply chain management. However, RFID naturally generates a large amount of duplicate readings. Removing these duplicates from the RFID data stream is paramount as it does not contribute new information to the system and wastes system resources. Existing approaches to deal w...

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...

With the international reform in medical management systems gaining ground worldwide, hospital management has gradually begun to shift its focus from providing expensive medical treatment to improving medical service quality and patient safety. In this study, we discuss the application of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and data integrating technology with the medical service, and examine...

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...

Human is striving for a well-facilitated world on a daily basis. Having been invented for more than half a century, Radio frequency identification or RFID is lately being used. While noting that every new technology comes along with its threats, RFID technology is bound to the same rule. This paper examines the possible threats of this technology and introduces ways to counter these threats and...

This paper presents research aimed at developing a three dimensional (3D) buried assets locating system based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. RFID is employed to improve the locating of underground infrastructure. Problems facing the utility companies are highlighted and discussed. Within the paper, differences between system performance in real conditions and ideal conditi...

After exploring industrial and consumer applications of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and reviewing the state-of-theart and development in RFID technology, the paper put forward RFID smart parts. A currently operative smart part based manufacturing system is described which uses RFID as the key technology. The role of them in the emerging Wireless Internet Manufacturing field is highlig...

The RFID Garage Door Entry System team is a project team which seeks to create an automation solution using a relatively un-harnessed technology called Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Using RFID technology, the team seeks to combine the functionality and convenience of automated remote transmission with an existing garage door opener system. The intent of this project was to build a syst...
