Recently, there have been an increasing interest in RFID system and RFID systems have been applied to various applications. Load balancing is a fundamental technique for providing scalability of systems by moving workload from overloaded nodes to under-loaded nodes. This paper presents an approach to adaptive load balancing for RFID middlewares. Workloads of RFID middlewares can have a consider...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a means of automatic identification that uses radio waves to detect, track, identify, and thus manage a variety of objects. The purpose of an RFID system is transmitting data from a portable device, called a tag, to an RFID reader to execute a particular application based on the tag provided identification or location information (Graafstra, 2006; O' Bri...

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology promises to revolutionize the way we track items and assets, but in RFID systems, missreading is a common phenomenon and it poses an enormous challenge to RFID data management, so accurate data cleaning becomes an essential task for the successful deployment of systems. In this paper, we present the design and development of a RFID data cleaning ...

RFID is currently considered a hot topic in the IT arena. It is described as major enabling technology for automated contact less wireless data collection and as an enabler for the real-time enterprise, a future vision of Enterprise Information Systems. But little is known about the perceived strategic importance of RFID among IT decision makers, current RIFD usage and areas of application or c...

For a dense RFID reader deployment, such as in a warehouse, where hundreds of readers will be positioned in a building, the interference between all these readers must be studied carefully to avoid disruption of operations. Strict RFID regulations and standards have been imposed, trying to address the problem of reader collision and also the problem of RFID devices interfering with other device...

-RFID technology is one of automatic identification technologies. In current RFID systems, RFID data are managed and processed by a middleware. In the near future, when RFID technology will be applied to large scale warehouses, airports, or seaports, it is necessary that wireless sensors integrated a RFID reader construct wireless sensor network because of difficulties of building wired network...

Recently, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has received considerable attention and is considered to be the next wave of information technology revolution. The number of RFID applications in different industries is increasing continuously. Cumulative sales of RFID tag is up in 2006 which shows RFID adoption trend in industries to improve their efficiency of operations and to gain a competit...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology was originally invented for military uses. From 1980s, commercial RFID products started to be available and they were mainly applied in areas of supply chains, transport, manufacturing, personnel access, animal tagging, toll collection etc. Nowadays, RFID has been recognised as an emerging technology for ubiquitous positioning (UP), especially in...
