This book introduces the technologies and techniques of large-scale RFID-enabled mobile computing systems. The discussion is set in the context of specificsystem case studies where RFID has been the core enabling technology in retail, metropolitan transportation, logistics and e-passport applications. RFID technology fundamentals are covered including operating principles, core system components and performance trade-offs involved in the selection of specific RFID platforms. The main text is structured around 3 themes: addressing schemes for RFID tags, complex event processing, identifier resolution and location ofassociated information services. Programming abstractions and practical lessons learnt from real-world deployments are detailed and the book concludes witha brief look at the implications of RFID for privacy protection and for end-to-end security of networked mobile systems. Focuses on network services and ITinfrastructure required for the support of RFID technologies Offers a practical approach, with specific RFID applications providing context for discussion,including: RFID passport controls, RFID drug anti-counterfeiting, automobile manufacturing, metropolitan transportation, retail INDICE: What is RFID.- RFID Applications.- Readers and Tags.- Physics and Lower Layers.- Identifier Systems.- System Architectures for RFID.- RFID Middleware.- Network Services.- Privacy and Security.- Epilogue.- Acronyms.
