Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems occupy an increasingly important role in asset-tracking and inventory management systems. Large silicon vendors now produce RFID systems, lowering costs while increasing supply. RFID systems could become inexpensive and offer enough performance to satisfy a wide range of commercial applications, one day connecting consumer products in a dynamic, rea...

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 ...

Ben Clacy and Brian Jennings presented their recently published paper with the title of “service management: driving the future of IT” [1], which highlighted service oriented is very important. How is the situation of RFID systems? There is a proliferation of RFID systems – tags, sensors, readers, middleware and applications each attempting to solve a specific business need. RFID technology can...

With the advent of wireless technology, a rapidly advancing area is that of Radio Frequency Identification Devices or RFID. RFID technology was first developed as an espionage device during World War II. However, nearly 30 years of research was required before it became a part of our everyday lives. Informally, RFID can be considered a non-contact method of using radio frequency electromagnetic...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems, which basically consist of readers and tags, were originally developed for the identification of tagged objects, as the name RFID implies. Recently, precise positioning and tracking of RFID tags or readers has received considerable attention from both academia and industry. For example, finding the position of RFID tags is an important task in vari...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has recently begun to receive increased interest from both practitioners and academicians due to the well-known mandates to suppliers from major global retailers and the United States (US) Department of Defense. Though the deployment of RFID in the supply chain is relatively new, propriety RFID systems have been utilised in the manufacturing envi...

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...

One of the obstacles to wide adapt passive RFID systems is the limited read distance or relatively high error rate due to radio interferences in the passive backscatter RFID systems. The most important tag performance characteristic is read distance at which RFID reader can detect the backscattered signal from the tag. The read distance in passive backscatter RFID systems depends on many factor...
