RFID is an exciting, rapidly growing, multidisciplinary technology, which
is capable of automatically and uniquely
identifying objects or persons by radio frequency within certain proximity.
It is emerging as one of most fundamental
technologies to ubiquitous computing, Internet of Things, intelligent
transport systems, and web of things owing its
low cost, automatic identification and broad applicability. RFID has
achieved widespread success in various domains,
ranging from animal identification, asset tracking, highway toll
collection, smart home appliances, supply chain management,
to surveillance systems. Moreover, a wide spectrum of RFID standards,
protocols, and middlewares has been innovated
to further advance the RFID field. For example, EPC Gen 2 devices at
ultra-high frequency (900 MHz) with passive tags
are regulated for supply chain applications, while those devices also at
ultra-high frequency (433MHz) are recommended
for health-care systems.
With massive RFID adoption, RFID presents a series of challenging issues
that are significant and should be overcome
before enjoying the benefits from RFID. These new challenges consist
of energy-efficient data gathering and process in
large-scale environments, software infrastructures for supporting Internet
of Things, the interaction model for hand-held devices,
the leading-edge innovations RFID applications, the business value and
performance measurement, and security and privacy attacks.
This special issue aims to bring together the research community with the
engineering and business community to form a
picture of the state-of-the-art progress relating to RFID technology and
applications. This special issue will also provide an
opportunity for researchers, developers and practitioners to timely
exchange new ideas, developments, and experience across the emerging field.
Scopes
To be specific, the special issue will focus on the research and technical
innovations in RFID readers, tags,
middleware, software, applications, systems and business logics. This
special issue also provides an opportunity for
researchers and developers to share their individual insights into RFID.
Topics include, but not limited to:
Reader/Tag technology:
? Hardware design ? Antenna systems
? System on a chip ? Intelligent tags
? Mobile and handheld readers ? Tag storage and communication
? RFID implants ? RFID interference and collision
Middleware technology:
? Service-oriented architecture ? Middleware for Internet of Things
? Database integration ? Integration with ERP systems
Applications:
? Supply chain management ? Healthcare services
? Mobile payments ? Inventory management
? RFID Revenue models ? Consumer applications
