RFID is an important information technology that enables changes in existing methods of logistics. In this study, a decision making model for the introduction of RFID by domestic food & beverage businesses has been developed in order to enhance the efficiency of logistics activities. The general business states and effects expected from the introduction of RFID by SCM sector of 167 domestic food and beverage businesses were surveyed and based on the results, it was identified that generally positive answers were received. A decision making model for the introduction of RFID was derived and based on the results, it was identified that major influencing factors affecting the intention to introduce RFID were "the number of personnel" and "costs to introduce RFID".

This paper proposes a RFID cell planning scheme for indoor location-awareness. We theoretically develop four objective functions that yield objective goals significant to the optimal design of a RFID cell topology and simulation is conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed RFID cell planning scheme. We also evaluate the performance of the proposed technique after practically installing RFID readers in an indoor space to configure a RFID cell topology. Performance evaluations are conducted in terms of the following objective goals: minimal number of RFID readers for configuring a RFID cell topology, maximal RFID cell coverage areas for indoor location-awareness, minimal overlapping cells, and maximal indoor location-awareness accuracy.

Recently, many researchers have studied on RFID with the rapid development of RFID technologies. RFID adapts to many applications. A lot of readers may be deployed in some applications. The incorrect deployment of RFID readers occurs reader-to-reader interferences in many applications using RFID technologies. It causes the significant degradation of the RFID recognition rate. Therefore, it is very important to appropriately deploy the RFID readers in terms of costs and system performance. In this paper, we propose a novel RFID sensor network design system with the minimal RFID readers to cover whole regions when an arbitrary blueprint is given.

This paper sets a goal at developing an intelligent advertising system that displays only an advertisement in which interests passers by collecting their RFID information and analysing it in order to improve the defect of outdoor advertising boards which unilaterally advertise regardless of people's interest. For this purpose, we propose a RFID contents middleware which generates a meaningful event and streams an advertising content corresponding with the passers' interest after filtering and analysing the recognized RFID data. We implemented the RFID middleware with Sun Java RFID software and made an experiment by designing a RFID emulator. As a result of the experiment. we found that this system displays the advertisement according to the passers' information.

Recently, there has been much research to develope and apply RFID technology, which has a kcy role in the upcoming ubiquitous society, in many fields such as physical distribution, traffic control, medical service, and so on. However, there has been little research on a ubiquitous education or learning including 'u-Campuses' and 'u-Libraries'. Based on the characteristics of RFlD, this paper proposes a system for English learning required in globalization age. RFID tags and sensors utilize wireless communications to track the location and status information of the user to deliver English situated learning services. The current RFID-based system should use quite a different rniddleware, compared with a general-purpose middleware on server or desktop. The RFID system is used on a mobile PDA and consists of essential APIs such as reader and tag control, queue, and filter management.

In this paper, we proposed and implemented an EPCglobal Reader Manegement (RM) based management protocol. Using RFID Reader's management function, we could diagnose an active RFID Reader concretely which was impossible with only using Reader protocols and check the problem quickly when the RFID Reader is in failure. When diagnosing RFID Readers using the proposed RM based management protocol, we can check on their failure in stages and specifically, and can estimate range of failure. This helps RFID Reader's fast recovery, reduce loss of failure and improve QoS. We could get reader information with almost same overhead compared with the management message in LLRP. And we could get more information about RFID Reader's operation status.

In this paper, we developed a RFID tag antenna using one-sheet inlay pattern which consist of two different frequencies in one layer. The antenna in one-sheet inlay RFID tag does not use different kind RFID antennas in a card but implement 13.56MHz and 900MHz RFID tag antennas in one sheet. In order to evaluate the usability of proposed method, we configured test equipments and designed 6 different patterns and test the recognition distance of each pattern. Among the one-sheet inlay RFID tag antenna designs, the pattern no.5 has good performance with recognition distance of 5.34m at 900MHz and 3.5m at 13.56MHz.

최근 모바일 RFID 분야는 기존의 RFID 서비스와 이동통신 서비스가 융합하여 사회 전반에 걸쳐서 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 핵심 소프트웨어인 미들웨어 분야에서 기존의 RFID 미들웨어는 기능이 너무 복잡하여 시스템 자원이 한정되어 있는 모바일 RFID 서비스에는 적합하지 않다. 또한 특히 RFID 미들웨어는 리더에서 발생된 태그 정보를 응용프로그램에게 전달하는 소프트웨어로 많은 글로벌 IT 기업과 연구소에서 연구되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 이러한 미들웨어에 관한 연구는 태그를 식별하기 위한 서비스에 초점이 맞추어져 모바일 RFID 서비스를 위한 미들웨어의 구조로는 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 RFID 미들웨어의 문제점을 알아보고, 모바일 RFID 서비스에 최적화된 미들웨어의 요구사항을 분석하였다. 그리고 모바일 RFID 미들웨어의 핵심 컴포넌트와 상호간의 인터페이스를 설계하였다.

모바일 RFID 환경이란 휴대전화가 RFID 리더를 가지고 있어서 사용자가 자신의 휴대전화를 통해 RFID 태그가 부착된 제품의 정보를 손쉽게 얻을 수 있는 환경을 의미한다. 모바일 환경에서 사용되는 RFID 기술은 고정형 RFID 리더를 사용하는 환경과는 다른 사용자 요구사항 및 보안 요구사항이 존재한다. 모바일 RFID 기술에 특화된 국제 표준화 논의가 2007년 상반기부터 본격적으로 논의되고 있다. 따라서 모바일 RFID 보안기술은 모바일 RFID 전체 프레임워크와 호환성을 유지하면서 모바일 환경의 요구사항을 만족하는 방향으로 표준화가 진행되어야 한다. 본 고에서는 모바일 RFID 기술의 표준화 동향을 살펴보고, 모바일 환경을 고려한 모바일 RFID 보안 프레임워크 및 인증, 키 관리, 데이터 보호, 프라이버시 보호 등의 모바일 RFID 보안 서비스를 설명한다. 그리고 이러한 보안 서비스를 제공하기 위해 필요한 표준화 대상을 제안하고, 표준화 대상에 대한 기술 개발과 지적재산권 확보 및 이를 연계한 국제표준화 추진 전략을 설명하며 결론을 맺는다.

RFID is an essential and inevitable technologies in logistics and manufacturing ones. The progress of RFID technology is still very slow owing to the cost of RFID and peripheral technologies however, some foreign countries such as US and Japan have already adopted RFID into real life for example, transportation and logistics and established its technologies as a commercial ones. Therefore, The purpose of this study is to prove that RFID technology can improve productivity and to take an example of a company adopted RFID technology had improved 50% or more increase in productivity. By demonstrating that, the necessity and effectiveness of RFID has proven. There are still many things to be solved like the development of RFID attaching machine. The machine was also suggested in this study.
