In this paper we present an architecture that provides enterprises with the opportunity to apply a low cost traceability system which allows for the complete transparency of products in the supply chain. The proposed traceability system uses the RSS 2.0 format, while a product classification ontology is developed in order to enable intelligent product management. The above technologies are incorporated into an RFID architecture. The deployment of RFID technology in the supply chain is expected to increase significantly the amount of product data, raising the need of adoption of an effective ontology-based model for intelligent product information management.

Empowered by the possibility to automatically identify unique product instances, the emerging Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is expected to revolutionize the supply chain processes. However, in view of the numerous possible ways that RFID can be implemented within the processes, the issue of supporting the process redesign based on a credible assessment between the current (as-is) and the future (to-be) processes has become a matter of considerable concern and debate for both practitioners and academics alike. To design RFID implementations in the supply chain using a robust dynamic analysis, we resort to discrete event simulation. As a result, based on a simulation study, the two factors of object identification level and RFID labeling responsibility are identified as key decision factors to design the RFID-enabled processes.

As devices become more ubiquitous and information more pervasive technologies such as Semantic Web and Space-Based computing come to the fore as a platform for user-interaction with their environment. Integrating technologies such as advanced RF memory Tag with mobile devices and combining this with computation platforms such as those supporting Semantic Web principles provides for the user innovative and novel applications.

In this paper we introduce Location Estimation through Proximity Information (LEPI), an algorithm that aims at locating portable RFID readers in areas where active-RFID grids are settled. Location estimation is accomplished through a proximity information, which the reader derives by performing tag interrogation at increasing RF power levels. RFID tags surrounding the reader are incrementally detected and their known positions are eventually averaged, this providing an accurate estimation of the reader location. The performance of the proposed approach is assessed by experimental trials, conducted in indoor environments. They testify both to the actual feasibility of such a solution and to its better accuracy when compared to other reference RFID-based location tech-

There is a growing attention towards the application of Radio Frequency Identification (RFId) technology in the Fashion & Apparel supply chain. This paper describes a Lateral Trans-shipment replenishment policy enabled by item-level RFId tagging. In fact, in order to adopt a Lateral Transshipment policy, a firm should have an accurate visibility of both the inventory level in its warehouses and in each store. Such visibility can be provided by RFId technology. An analytical model has been developed to evaluate the convenience of applying a Lateral Trans-shipment policy, and the main managerial implications are discussed.

We suggest controlling local services using an NFC capable mobile phone and RFID tags placed in the local environment behind control icons. When a user touches a control icon, a control event is sent to the corresponding service. The service processes the event and performs the requested action. We present a platform realizing this control approach and a prototype service playing videos on a wall display. We compare this touch-based control with controlling the same service using the mobile phone's keypad.

The tasks and objectives of automatic identification (Auto-ID) are to provide information on goods and products. It has already been established for years in the areas of logistics and trading and can no longer be ignored by the German health care sector [3, 9]. Some German hospitals have already discovered the capabilities of Auto-ID. Improvements in quality, safety and reductions in risk, cost and time are aspects and areas where improvements are achievable. Privacy protection, legal restraints, and the personal rights of patients and staff members are just a few aspects which make the heath care sector a sensible field for the implementation of Auto-ID [4]. Auto-ID in this context contains the different technologies, methods and products for the registration, provision and storage of relevant data [6] With the help of a quantifiable and science-based evaluation, an answer is sought as to which Auto-ID has the highest capability to be implemented in health care business.

RFID technology is usually not well integrated with business processes and backend enterprise information systems. Current enterprise information systems cannot deal with high volume of events and their complex dependencies. In this paper we propose a reference architecture for event-driven RFID applications. The key concept of the approach is complex event processing as the model for processing and managing of event-driven information systems. In order to prove the practical usefulness of the reference architecture we present a case study for tracking samples in large research laboratories using RFID.

A stress-limiting device for a flexible riser which stress-limiting device glides in a set of guides rigidly attached to an articulated structure emplaced in the deep sea. The device includes an elastic guide tube element coaxial to the riser, with the stiffness of the guide tube increasing progressively from the top to the bottom of said guide tube, whereby the stiffness characteristic is appreciable in the lower region of the guide tube, which lower region is affixed to a structure attached to a wellhead or the like via an aligned fitting, whereby the guide tube is held in contact with the riser by the intermediary of a plurality of support mechanisms one of which includes a fitted bushing which glides in the lower, rigid part of the guide tube. The device makes it possible to shut down and resume operation of offshore wells which have been equipped for production.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic data capture technology that has great potential to improve business. However, RFID projects have significant up-front costs: buying tags and readers, and installing them in business locations. Until now, a physical deployment was required to properly test RFID software and its integration with existing systems. This paper describes EPC Virtual Laboratory (EPC VLab), a physical world simulation engine, that can be used to feed standard RFID information systems with realistic data. The simulator has proved to be useful for preliminary and exploratory testing.
