EPCglobal은 기업 간의 물류 활동 촉진과 글로벌 유통물류 시스템 구축을 위하여 EPCglobal Architecture Framework을 제시 하였다. EPCglobal Architecture Framework의 한 구성요소인 EPCIS(Electronic Product Code Information Services)는 EPC 기반 물류 관련 정보에 대한 저장 및 검색 서비스를 제공한다. EPCIS는 단발성 질의(poll)와 연속 질의(subscribe) 검색 서비스를 제공한다. EPCIS의 연속 질의는 시스템 자동화 및 재고 관리, 공급망 관리를 위해 다양한 응용에서 활용이 가능하다. 일반적으로 연속 질의의 성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 질의 색인을 사용한다. 그러나 EPCIS는 13차원의 도메인과 모든 데이터 필드가 필수 조건이 아니라는 것으로 인해, 차원의 저주 및 무한 영역 질의 문제를 발생 시킨다. 본 논문에서는 EPCIS의 물류 데이터의 연속 질의 처리를 위한 다차원 색인 기법을 제안한다. 13차원의 도메인을 여러 개의 질의 색인으로 구성하고, 등록된 질의 및 입력되는 데이터에 의해 변경되는 동적 질의 실행 계획을 제안함으로써, 차원의 저주와 무한 영역 질의의 문제를 해결하고, EPCIS에서 다수의 연속 질의 등록 시 효율적으로 처리가 가능하도록 한다.

The EPCglobal Network is a system which provides the information of items to suppliers, consumers, and customers by granting identification numbers on the goods based on the technologies of EPC(Electronic Product Code) and RFID(Radio Frequency Identification), and connecting the space to store those information by network. The EPCglobal architecture framework is also a service consolidating supply and process chain by using EPC for the common goal of business corporations. In the national level, it is necessary to define standard vocabularies for each location and logistics business process for RFID environment using the pre-constructed logistics information infrastructure. Therefore, we define the standard vocabularies and partially user vocabularies for international logistics on EPCglobal network architecture. Finally, we believe that our vocabularies contribute to describing the events fur the EPCglobal network architecture and actually providing usable platform via the XML implementation.

The information flow through RFID techniques such as, standardized EPC and EPCglobal network suggests new change in the method of cooperating and sharing information in the supply chain. Common function should be prepared for communication, security techniques, and business processes based on the EPCglobal standard to introduce efficient RFID techniques. And the standard architecture which can deal with the RFID environment flexibly is quite necessary. Therefore, this paper suggests Enterprise Application Framework (EAF) for developing efficient and secure RFID applications. EAF offers essential services to develop RFID enterprise systems : a communication environment which uses various standard communication protocols, a security function based on PKI, and abstract business services for flexible introduction of RFID businesses. It simplifies the RFID business integration, minimizes the development complexity, and thus EAF is expected to reduce the cost of RFID application development. EAF guarantees constructing secure RFID applications due to PKI-based security mechanism.

EPCglobal은 기업 간의 물류 활동 촉진과 글로벌 유통물류 시스템 구축을 위하여 EPCglobal Architecture Framework을 제시 하였다. EPCglobal Architecture Framework의 한 구성 요소인 EPCIS(Electronic Product Code Information Services)는 EPC, 시간, 위치와 같은 물류 관련 정보에 대해 저장 및 검색 서비스를 제공한다. EPCIS는 단발성 질의(poll)와 연속 질의(subscribe) 검색 서비스를 제공한다. EPCIS의 연속 질의는 시스템 자동화 및 재고 관리, 공급망 관리를 위해 다양한 응용에서 활용이 가능하다. 일반적으로 연속 질의 처리를 위해서는 등록된 연속 질의와 입력된 데이터를 순차적으로 비교하는 Sequential Matching 기법을 사용한다. Sequential Matching기법은 등록된 연속 질의 수가 증가 할 경우 많은 부하를 발생 시키고, 이로 인해 시스템 처리 지연이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 EPCIS의 시공간 EPC 데이터의 연속질의 처리 성능 향상을 위해 선택률 기반 효율적인 연속질의 처리 기법을 제안한다. 13차원의 도메인을 여러 개의 질의 색인으로 구성하고, 등록된 질의 정보를 기반으로 선택률을 계산한다. 선택률에 의해 변경되는 동적 질의 실행 계획을 제안함으로써, EPCIS에서 시공간 EPC 데이터의 연속질의 처리에 대해 평균 60%의 성능이 향상이 가능하도록 하였다.

EPCglobal 네트워크란 EPC(Electronic Product Code)와 RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) 기술을 바탕으로 제품에 식별번호를 부여하고 정보를 저장할 수 있는 공간을 네트워크로 연동하여 공급자, 수요자, 소비가 제품에 관련된 정보를 알 수 있게 해주는 시스템을 말한다. 또한 EPCglobal 네트워크 아키텍처 프레임워크(EPCglobal network architecture framework)는 EPC를 사용하여 공급과 유통망 강화라는 업체간의 공동 목표를 위한 서비스하는 것이다. EPCglobal 네트워크 아키텍처 중 EPCIS(EPC Information System) 수집 애플리케이션, EPCIS 접근 애플리케이션에서 이벤트 정의 시 공통적인 의사소통을 위한 표준 어휘 정의가 필수적이며, 그 어휘 종류에는 표준 어휘(standard vocabulary)와 사용자어휘(user vocabulary)가 있다. 이 논문은 이 가운데 EPCglobal 네트워크 아키텍처의 표준 어휘 정의에 초점을 두고, 사용자 어휘는 부분적으로 정의하고자 한다. 따라서 이 논문은 EPCglobal 네트워크 프레임 아키텍처의 이벤트 정의 시 사용될 표준 어휘를 제안하고, XML 구현을 통해 실제 사용 가능한 환경을 제공할 것이다.

EPCIS(EPC Information Services) system is a core component of EPCglobal Architecture Framework offering information of the freights, the time of awareness and the location of awareness on the EPCglobal Network. The role of EPCIS is to exchange information based on EPC. There are four kinds of event data which are object event data, aggregation event data, quantity event data, and transaction event data. These EPCIS events data are stored and managed in EPCIS repository. This paper leads to separate a in-out data overload of integrated EPCIS event and suggests the method to effectively manage EPCIS repository for exchanging data smoothly. In order to verify a effectiveness, we measure the performance of the system using a simple testing simulation by comparing existing method and suggested method.

Recently, RFID technology has attracted considerable attention in many industry fields. The RFID environment requires a standard architecture for the smooth exchange of data between heterogeneous networks. The architecture should offer an efficient standard environment, such as a communication environment based on Web Services, PKI or Kerberos-based security, and abstract business processes which could be used in the diverse domains. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an Enterprise Application Framework (EAF) which includes a standard communication protocol, security functions, and abstract level business processes. The suggested architecture is expected to provide a more secure and flexible security management in the dynamic RFID application environments, and is expected to provide an abstract business event for the development of business processes which could apply RFID technology to the existing systems.

The role of EPCIS is to exchange information based on EPC. There are four kinds of event data which are object event data, aggregation event data, quantity event data, and transaction event data. These EPCIS events data are stored and managed in EPCIS repository. This study suggest the quantitative modeling about total number of EPCIS event data under the assumption to aware the RFID tags of items, cases(boxes), vehicles(carriers, forklifts, auto guided vehicles, rolltainers) at a time on the reading points. We also estimate the number of created EPCIS event data by the suggested quantitative modeling under scenario of process in the integrated logistics center based on RFID system And this study compare the TO-BE model with the AS-IS model about the total sizes of created EPCIS event data using the simulation, in which we suggested the TO-BE model as the development of the repository by skipping the overlapped records.

EPCIS(EPC Information Service) system is a core component of EPCglobal Architecture Framework offering information of the freights, the time of awareness and the location of awareness on the EPCglobal Network. EPCIS Repository continuously stores and manages mass EPCIS Event input data from a great number of RFID devices simultaneously. The Hybrid DBMS can deal efficiently mass necessary data. This study suggest the plan which can efficiently manage EPCIS Repository using Hybrid DBMS. We offer three schema and stores EPCIS Event data to Altibase DB that can efficiently manage EPCIS Repository using Hybrid DBMS and compare the performance about three schema through simulations.
