Preface
Over the years, RFID has gone through many transformations, from traditionally
beingknownasacontactlessaccesscardtechnologytoconnectinginformationand
physicalflowsofobjects(i.e.,“NetworkedRFID”).Recentadvancesincommunica-
tiontechnologies,middleware,andWebservicesareenablingthedevelopmentand
deployment of RFID technology which continues to evolve and has now become
part of the so-called “Internet of Things”. Indeed, this future Internet will provide
an environment where everyday physical objects such as buildings, commodities,
and in general all “things” are readable, recognizable, addressable, and even con-
trollable using services via the Web. The capability of connecting and integrating
information from both the physical world and the virtual one not only affects the
wayhowwelive,butalsocreatestremendousnewRFID-enabledbusinessopportu-
nitiessuchasthesupportofindependentlivingofelderlypersons,efficientsupply
chains, anti-counterfeiting and improved environmental monitoring. Many organi-
sationsareplanningorhavealreadyexploitedRFIDintheirmainoperationstotake
advantageofthepotentialforgreaterautomation,efficientbusinessprocesses,and
inventoryvisibility.
RFID data management, scalable information systems, business process re-
engineering, and evaluating investments are emerging as significant technical
challengestoapplicationsunderpinnedbynewdevelopmentsinRFIDtechnology.
In this book, we present contributions from world leading experts on the latest
developments and state-of-the-art results in the RFID field to address these chal-
lenges.Thebookoffersacomprehensiveandsystematicdescriptionoftechnologies,
architectures,andmethodologiesthatarerequiredtodevelopsecure,scalable,and
reliableRFIDnetworks.
The book consists of five major parts. The first part presents a view into the
future evolution of this technology and what might be possible in the near hori-
zonwhilealsotakingasystematiclookatprivacyandsecurityissuesthatcannotbe
ignoredintheeuphoria.ThefollowingfourpartscovertopicsonRFIDdatamanage-

This book serves well as a valuable reference point for researchers, educators,
andengineerswhoareworkinginRFIDdatamanagement,RFIDapplicationdevel-
opment, as well as graduate students who wish to understand, learn, and discover

opportunities in this emerging research and development area. Furthermore, it is
also of general interest to anyone deploying RFID applications, particularly those
working on the design, development, and deployment of large-scale or open-loop
networked RFID systems. The comprehensive coverage of topics related to infor-
mationsystemswillalsobeofbenefittoITmanagersworkingintheareaofRFID

that the work presented in this book will stimulate new discussions and generate

missions and for providing valuable feedback to the contributing authors. It has
indeed been a great pleasure to work with such a dedicated group of world lead-
