Recently, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has received considerable attention and is considered to be the next wave of information technology revolution. The number of PFID 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...

Speaker: Professor Guang Gong Abstract: Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology for the automated identification of physical entities using radio frequency transmissions. In the past ten years, RFID systems have gained popularity in many applications, such as supply chain management, library systems, e-passports, contactless cards, identification systems, and human implantation. R...

PROTECTING PRIVACY AND ENSURING SECURITY OF RFID SYSTEMS USING PRIVATE AUTHENTICATION PROTOCOLS Md. Endadul Hoque Marquette University, 2010 Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems have been studied as an emerging technology for automatic identification of objects and assets in various applications ranging from inventory tracking to point of sale applications and from healthcare applicati...

RFID middleware often has to process enormous amounts of data, possibly causes overloading and leading to data errors. Therefore, RFID middleware applications require load-balancing mechanisms. This work proposes a grid-based load-balancing mechanism for RFID middleware applications. The proposed mechanism incorporates functional modules Buffer Management and Load Balancing Management over a gr...

RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology bridges two technologies in the area of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), namely Product Code (PC) technology and Wireless technology. This broad-based rapidly expanding technology impacts business, environment and society. The operating principle of an RFID system is as follows. The reader starts a communication process by radiat...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an enabling technology for a variety of applications in nextgeneration network (NGN). Although several RFID management frameworks are proposed in the literature, they have limitations in terms of service extension. In this paper, we propose an extensible RFID management framework called SIP-based RFID management system (SRMS), which can support various R...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology can automatically and inexpensively track items as they are moved through the supply chain. This can automate the whole updating and management system, thereby making the system work with a much smaller workforce and reducing the error that can occur because of interference by human beings. One of the major adv...

Given the unquestionable importance of performance measurement on the one hand and the promise of large-scale economic gains through the application of RFID technology in business processes on the other, a crucial question arises: To what extent do RFID users measure the economic performance of their applications and how is the success of RFID applications affected by performance measurement? T...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that uses radio signals for object identification. Since the invention of RFID in the mid 1930’s, the technology has been used to identify aircraft, collect bridge-toll payments, deter theft, and track livestock, among many other applications. Interest in RFID has spiked in recent years with the formation of the Auto-ID Center and visions of...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is used to identify RFID-tagged objects automatically. An RFID system generally consists of three components: an RFID tag, an RFID reader, and a backend system. An RFID tag is a small device for identification, which is attached to or embedded in an object. It has an unique identifier and may optionally hold additional product information for the...
