RFID middleware is a new breed of software acquisition system that allows transfer data between device readers and business applications. RFID middleware has been structured in facto with several layers: infrastructure layer, event processor, tag data translator, rules and composite process, and application integration or EPCIS. EPCIS term is a generalization to refer the upper layer that link RFID middleware with external systems like SCMs, ERPs, WMSs or any user application that use auto identification data. In this paper we want to present the EPCIS DEPCAS layer. DEPCAS (Data EPC Acquisition System) is a RFID middleware proposal based on an extension of control and data acquisition systems (SCADAs). We examine the elements that compound EPCIS in DEPCAS based on SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) and publish/subscribe message technologies implemented with JMS (Java Message Service). EPCIS in DEPCAS solves the two-way communication: it receives the configuration back-end information to increase the RFID semantic process defined with scenarios and offers the services to exploit the RFID acquisition results.

This paper examines factors antecedent to the adoption of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) from the perspectives of three key retail supply chain stakeholders: retailers, retailer suppliers, and technology providers and develops a conceptual framework to explore the impact of RFID on retail supply chain performance. Drawing on extant interorganisational information system theory, this research identifies factors likely to impact on the adoption of RFID. Four categories of factors such as technological, economic, organisational and external are identified. The relationship between RFID factors, RFID adoption and retail supply chain performance was developed as a conceptual framework employing Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The proposed framework was validated by the results of two Australian pilot studies and responses from stakeholders of two mini surveys. The study identifies several gaps and proposes that each stakeholder group must be aware of, and agree to the salient factors that effects an RFID adoption decision.

This paper presents and discusses various solutions for the cooperation of several components implementing Discovery Services (DS) in the EPCglobal architecture. This architecture aims to collect and store events involving objects tagged with a Electronic Product Code (EPC) that can be accessed using the RFID technology. Each event is stored in a repository with a standardized interface specification: the EPC Information Services. The DS components are used by the application layer in order to retrieve which repositories store events about a given code. If this is not a problem for a centralized network, it is still an open question for a decentralized architecture. Security and access controls concerns are also taken into account.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an increasingly popular technology that uses radio signals for object identification. Successful object identification is the primary objective of RFID technology (after all, the last two letters of the acronym “RFID” stand for “identification”). Yet, a recent major study by Wal-Mart has shown that object detection probability can be as low as 66%. In this paper we address the fundamental issue of improving object detection by tagging objects with multiple tags. This confirms for the first time the practicality and efficacy of previous works on multi-tag RFID systems. Using different configurations of commercial RFID equipment, we show significant improvements in object detection probability as the number of tags per object increases. We compare various combinations of multi-tags, readers, and antennas, and demonstrate that adding multi-tags to a system can improve object detection probabilities more dramatically than adding more readers. We also address issues such as tag orientation and variability, effects of multi-tags on anti-collision algorithms and on object detection in presence of metals and liquids, as well as the economics of multi-tags.

RFID technology is used by various application areas to implement smart data processing and ubiquitous system. In the recent research of parking system, implementing efficient and accurate location technique using active RFIDs are not considered. This paper proposes a location technique based on pattern recognition of radio signal strength using active RFID. Active RFID is used by cars for identification by sending signals to receiving sensors. The proposed pattern recognition based on multilayer perceptron (MLP) uses the pattern of radio signal to process accurate location technique. The procedure provides a training model for received signal strength (RSS) patterns in able to classify the signals and determine the exact slot. A parking simulator platform is used and compared the proposed method to other algorithms and found that MLP is more accurate classifier and faster in building the classification model.

This paper presents an innovative RFID solution to manage sensitive document archives. The system aims at: i) automatically tracing all document accesses at level of each page (who read the document and when); ii) knowing at any time where a document is; iii) providing periodical archive inventory; and iv) automatically signaling anomalies detected in the archive. The system represents an important tool for national/international security, as it allows a quick document recovery in case of emergencies. Moreover, with the proposed system the institution in charge of sensitive document archives can demonstrate the secure management of the entrusted material. This paper describes how the system has been implemented and reports tests performed in laboratory by simulating different scenarios, showing that the solution allows a reliable management of sensitive documents.

Anti-collision mechanisms in RFID, including current standards, are variations of Aloha and Frame Slotted Aloha (FSA). The identification process starts when the reader announces the length of a frame (in number of slots). Tags receive the information and randomly choose a slot in that cycle to transmit their identifier number. The best performance of FSA always requires working with the optimum frame-length in each cycle. However, it is not a parameter easy to adjust in real RFID readers. In this work a markovian analysis is proposed to find the optimum value of frame-length for the current readers of the market. Besides, to validate and contrast the analytical results, a real passive RFID system has been used to get experimental results: the development kit Alien 8800. The experimental results match the analysis predictions.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification technology making its way to supply chains in Retail, Pharmaceutical, and other industries. RFID extends the reach of supply chain information systems in such a way that it will soon be possible and economically feasible to tag valuable physical objects and then to track and trace them, enabling many novel and useful applications. This paper provides an introduction to RFID for practitioners with a computer science background.
