"Internet of Things" - an Overview of RFID Applications and their Data Processing and Management Issues
Speaker: Dr Xue Li, ITEE

Venue: 78-622
Host: Dr Heng Tao Shen
Abstract:Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless communication technology
that uses radio-frequency waves to transfer information between tagged
objects and readers without line of sight. This creates tremendous
opportunities for linking real world objects into a world of "Internet of
things". RFID technology is bringing about revolution in the way that we
track items in business applications such as manufacturing, logistics
distribution, and various stages of supply chains, retail, and asset
management applications. In coming years we will witness this second
revolution of human communications following the advent of the Internet: the
pervasiveness of RFID technology. However, most current RFID technologies
focus on architectural issues; software that provides support for business
intelligence, workflow management, context-aware moving object tracking, is
still a yet-to-come topic and requires more attention. This talk will
provide an overview of RFID technology from a data management viewpoint. It
will analyse the advantages and requirements of developing RFID-enabled
applications. Based on the EPCglobal standards, a three-layered data
management model will be proposed and some research challenges will be
discussed.
