To obtain visible and traceable information from the supply chain, HW/SW standards for the EPC global network, which process electronic product code (EPC) data read from Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, are regarded as the de facto industry standard. Supply chain participants install information service systems and provide logistics information to partners by following the EPCglobal architecture framework. Although quality of service (QoS) is essential for providing dependable and scalable services as pointed out by Auto-ID Lab, only a few models for the performance analysis of QoS-related work have been developed in the context of EPC information service systems. Specifically, doing so allows alternative design choices to be tested in an easy and cost-effective manner and can highlight potential performance problems in designs long before any construction costs are incurred. Thus, in this study we construct a model of an EPC information service system for the purposes of performance analysis and designing a dependable system. We also develop a set of building blocks for analytical performance models. To illustrate how the model works, we determine the characteristics of an EPC information service system and then select a combination of these proven modeling concepts. We construct a performance model that considers the response time and shows how to derive meaningful performance values. Finally, we compare the analytical results to measurements of the EPC information service system.

RFID technology is one of the core technologies for ubiquitous computing, and many research activities have been going on in this research area currently. Related with these researches, mobile RFID network services using mobile devices having a built-in RFID reader and mobile networks have been launched in Korea, for the first time in the world. In this paper, we propose a method to coulect ALE middleware suggested by EPCglobal and existing mobile RFID network services. Especially, a RFID code conversion method is proposed to process mobile RFID code systems within ALE middleware systems. Using the proposed method, application developers and(or) content business industries can acquire the information they want, which is filtered and refined in real-time or periodically, from mobile RFID users. So, they can Provide customized services to users by using the user preference information. In this war, the ALE middleware system can be easily extended to process mobile RFID code effectively.

Today, Korean medical community faces rapid changes in medical environment due to opening of medical market, more emphasis on making profit and introduction of private medical insurance. Therefore, it is apparent that around, major university hospitals, efforts are being made to adapt to such changes by establishing mid to long range strategic plans. We want to keep pace with changing times and diverse demand of patients by introducing state of the art system, utilizing Ubiquitous technologies for improvements. In doing so, we want to distinguish our hospital services from others. However, Hospital Information System that integrates ubiquitous technologies are introduced in limited basis due to problems like standardization and limits on medical use etc. Particularly, problems like absence of tag design suitable for medical environment, compatibility and extension issue with RFID system need to be addressed on application of RFID technologies. In order to solve such problems, this paper implemented RFID tag system, RFID-SIP UA program, location tracking program. This paper provides a comprehensive basic review of RFID and SIP model suggests the evolution direction of further advanced RFID application service. The design of RFID-SIP application offers advance RFID system with drawback and reduction search time of medical object. so there is a improvement of hospital information system in ubiquitous environment.

RFID/USN core technologies for ubiquitous computing, It is possible to use variety of sensors, direct processors, and wireless network technology that easily collect the actual physical environment and can monitor information remotely. Especially the healthcare industry and services combined with U-Healthcare that have international competitiveness in the medical field. But the USN, standard management system of RFID such as EPCglobal architecture framework, the lack of interoperability issues and the global sensor network implementation. In this paper, a system for managing sensor nodes of the USN, USN of SIP-based management system (UMS) is proposed. UMS support Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), provide session management and mobility capabilities, that is based on Internet standard protocol. UMS architecture of the existing SIP architecture, added USN User Agent (UUA) and the USN Name Server (UNS) that the location of sensor nodes should be possible to trace. UUA on behalf of the limited capacity of the location of the sensor nodes to perform the registration process, UNS to track the location of the sensor nodes to provide name resolution services. The proposed management system has the advantage of internet applications such as Web services interoperability and easy to recycle existing resources with other SIP-based because it uses the Internet standard protocol SIP. In this paper we propose is based on the UMS blood temperature management system is verified through the scenario.

This paper analyzed Air Interface of EPCglobal's Class-0 that is UHF band protocol among radio environment protocol standard that is used to RFID system. And embodied prescribed anticollision algorithm in protocol. Also, the improved anticollision algorithm for the Class-0 protocol is proposed and performances of anticollision algorithm are compared. Result that compare performance of standard algorithm through simulation with improved algorithm, improved Class-0 algorithm when is tag number 100, reduced 8%, and when is tag number 1000, 12.2%. According as tag number increases, total realization time of improved algorithm decreased more gradually better than prescribed algorithm. Therefore, the improved anticollision algorithm proposed in this paper is advanced method improving the performance of tag recognition in the RFID system and Ubiquitous sensor network.

Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) technology has been widely used to identify and keep track of physical objects. The EPC Network Architecture, which is proposed by EPCglobal to promote EPC and RFID technologies, consists of several layers to deal with the captured data. Many studies concentrated on dealing with RFID tag data (ECReports) from ALE. However, there is no well-known work on specifying how to generate high level EPCIS events. For the incoming ECReports, Capturing Application cannot decide to generate which event types and how to get the semantic fields. In this paper, we propose the new Capturing Application (NCA) to solve the problem. NCA can generate EPCIS events correctly and automatically.

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.

데이터는 살아 움직이고 있다. 10년 전만 해도 10GB 정도의 데이터라면 대용량 데이터라고 불리던 시절이 있었다. 하지만 지금은 10TB보다 큰 데이터베이스도 흔하다. 결국, 대용량 데이터베이스(VLDB)의 시대가 개막된 것이다. VLDB로 변한 데이터베이스에는 백업, 복구, 관리와 같은 문제점이 있지만 그 중에서도 성능 문제를 빼놓을 수 없다. 데이터베이스에 많은 데이터가 있고 그렇게 많은 데이터 중에서 필요한 몇 건의 데이터만 추출하는 것이 쉬운 일이 아니다. 과거에는 데이터가 적었기 때문에 이러한 것이 큰 문제가 아니었지만 이제는 VLDB가 되면서 성능 최적화는 일상적이고도 중요한 이슈가 되었다. 따라서 VLDB가 된 데이터베이스나 VLDB로 변하고 있는 데이터베이스에서 성능 관리를 하고 최적화할 수 있는 전문기술이 필요하다.
