Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices and related technologies have received a great deal of attention for their ability to perform noncontact object identification. Systems incorporating RFID have been evaluated from a variety of perspectives. The authors constructed a networked RFID system to support event management at NetWorld+Interop 2004 Tokyo, an event that received 150,000 visit...

These days, the concept of Smart Home or Ubiquitous Home Network System is becoming more popular. It is anticipated that Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Mobile RFID technologies would play a major role in such an environment. At the outset this paper describes some of the RFID-based applications that are applicable to smart home environment. We then identify the security threats and s...

BACKGROUND The use of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems in healthcare is increasing, and concerns for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) pose one of the biggest obstacles for widespread adoption. Numerous studies have demonstrated that RFID systems can interfere with medical devices; however, the majority of past studies relied on time-consuming and burdensome test schemes based on...

Purpose: Drawing from literature on innovation, strategy and culture the objective of this study is to explore the role of perceived potentials and perceived strategic importance on CIOs’ perspective on RFID technology in two different cultural settings. Methodology:Based on survey responses from463German and 157 Italian IT decisionmakerswe analyzed the data with PLS structural equation modelin...

When applying RFID in production, it needs to be integrated into the used IT systems. However, till today system designers cannot rely on a standard solution for integrating RFID technology in manufacturing software systems. Each manufacturer has to deal with the same challenges: No consolidated findings on how to integrate RFID into the IT infrastructure exist. The consequence is that each IT ...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology one of the most promising technologies in the field of ubiquitous computing. Indeed, RFID technology may well replace barcode technology. Although it offers many advantages over other identification systems, there are also associated security risks that are not easy to be addressed. When designing a real lightweight authentication protocol for lo...

High Frequency (HF) passive Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is currently a widely adopted technology for mobile HCI with physical objects. Prototypes, pilot projects and industrial systems have been developed in a number of areas mostly following an approach in which RFID tags are either attached to mobile real world entities or carried by mobile users, whilst RFID readers are static and ...

RFID technology has attracted the attention of several businesses and experts worldwide. Given the potential benefits of RFID such as efficient inventory, streamlined supply chain, reduced stock outs and cost reductions, several retailers such as Wal-Mart and Target have decided to adopt RFID technologies. They have also mandated their suppliers to adopt and use RFID technologies. However, anec...

RFID systems allow fast and automatic identification of RFID tags through a wireless channel. Information on product items like name, model, purpose, expiration date, etc., can be easily stored and retrieved from RFID tags attached to items. That is why, in the near future, RFID tags can be an active part of our everyday life when interacting with items around us. Frequently, such items may cha...

Motivated by the need to understand the underlying antecedents of RFID adoption in retail, this study proposes and tests a framework predicting RFID adoption intent. Based on the TOE (technology-organizationenvironment) framework, this research develops and validates the research framework to examine the influence of twelve contextual factors under four broad categories (technological, organiza...
