Radio Frequency Identification or simply rfid has come to be an integral part of modern computing. Rfid is notable in that it is the first practical technology to tightly couple physical entities and digital information. In this survey, we cater to the computing professional who is not familiar with the specifics of rfid which we discuss in the context of supply chain management, its most popul...

This paper proposes a novel type of RFID application, i.e., RFID seeking. Several existing types of RFID applications such as monitoring, searching, locating/navigating, are similar with RFID seeking. However, they are either inapplicable or vulnerable for RFID seeking scenarios, in which a user is to find a lost tagged item in a blind spot, or to find a wanted item among a mass of similar ones...

Purpose – Radio frequency identification (RFID) applications that provide batch access, storage mass data and reprogramming are better than barcodes. Applying RFID can promote operational efficiency and precision. The cost is one of the major factors influencing whether or not RFID will be accepted in libraries. Although RFID has improved the efficiency of libraries, the essence of the library ...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an automatic identification (Auto-ID) technology which allows remote interrogation of ID data on RFID tags using radio frequency (RF) as a means of wireless communication between tagged objects and RFID readers. This paper studies whether so called ”networked RFID” systems can meet the timing constraints set by real-time industrial control applications. ...

The design of a NF‐ focused DRA phased array antenna is implemented for fixed RFID reader applications at 5.8 GHz. The radiated field is focused in the near‐zone of the array aperture. Numerical investigations on the radiation characteristics of the NF‐ focused array as well as uniform phase array are presented to demonstrate its feasibility for RFID real appl...

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems are gaining enormous interests in industry due to their vast applications such as supply chain, access control, inventory, transport, health care and home appliances. Although tag identification is the primary security goal of an RFID system, privacy issue is equally, even more important concern in the RFID system because of pervasiveness of RFID ta...

In this paper, we design a rule-based privacy policy for the RFID Ecosystem, an RFID-based ubiquitous computing system. We start from the physical access control (PAC) rule (Kriplean et al., IEEE Pervasive Computing 2007) that provides a default level of privacy but constrains the possible set of applications. We extend it by using principled ways of defining other access control rules that ret...

SmartTag is a radio frequency identifi cation (RFID) based technology designed to allow tracking of ore from its source through blasting, run-of-mine (ROM) pads, crushers, intermediate stockpiles and fi nally into the concentrator. This paper presents current developments and the future direction of the SmartTagTM ore tracking system, as well as presenting some case studies. Successful applicat...
