  • The notion of technological adoption such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been examined in various domains such as supply chain management, inventory management and health care. However, there are several unanswered questions surrounding how this technology is adopted in disaster management. This study attempts to explore the potential of RFID in disaster management. The notion of Task-Technology Fit (TTF) is deemed suitable for this purpose and thus used as the theoretical framework that is further validated by employing multiple case studies. The empirical findings indicate that there are six key factors influencing the decision to adopt RFID in disaster management. Some relate to aspects of RFID when it is put into practice, namely cost, compatibility, standardisation, implementation and locatability; while the other key factor relates to privacy and security aspect of information. It is hoped that the findings of this research will inform disaster management organizations to better plan the adoption of RFID for their operations.

  • Cancers are significant contributors to the mortality and health care expenditures. Cancer can be reduced and monitored by new information technology. Radio frequency identification or RFID is a wireless identification technology. The use of this technology can be employed for identifying and tracking clinical staff, patients, supplies, medications and equipments. RFID can trace and manage chemotherapy drugs. There are different types of RFID. Implantable RFID allowing a chip to be embedded under the skin and that store the cancer patient's identifier. These are concerns about applications of RFID. Privacy, security and legal issues are key problems. This paper describes capabilities, benefits and confidentiality aspects in radio frequency identification systems and solutions for overcoming challenges.

  • In molds management systems using radio frequency identification (RFID), in the case where the RFID tag is lost, the RFID technology cannot be utilized to identify the location of the logistics. In order to solve this problem, a multi-sensor-based mold management system using RFID and infrared sensors is proposed in this paper. The proposed system uses RFID to identify the location of the mold and, by installing infrared sensors on the mold racks, the manager can identify the presence and location of the mold by reaffirming whether the mold exists in that location or not.

  • All countries are fostering and developing RFID/USN Technology as a key growth industry due to not only the possibility of application to all industries but the expected profits through it. However, in case of RFID/USN domestic companies, as most of them are small or medium sized, with a weakness of technology and services, promotion policy and strategies are necessary to be established. In this study, we try to contribute to establishing the Policy for the RFID/USN industry promotion by analyzing the world companies which lead RFID/USN and by presenting the strategies which is optimized for overseas expansion and which can be applicable to the industry.

  • Recently the spread which RFID technology is overcomes the limit of existing recognition technology, it is forecast with the fact that it will bring a new renovation at the business and the industrial all over. Specially the case RFID technology of Port Logistic Industry will be applied it is forecast with the fact that it will bring a many effect. The government leads introduces a RFID technology of Port Logistic Industry through the various demonstration business. But it is many with the research insufficient the depression against an actuality improvement subject and the depression of technical know-how strategy and it is difficult it is undergoing. In order to solve this problems, we propose an introduction of technical know-how Road Map that we select ranking with Existing literature investigation and the present business demand anaylsis. In the future this research it it forecast in future the successful guide line to the RFID technology introduction of Port Logistic Industry will become.

  • The trend in construction industry, now, lies in improving efficiency and competitive power in construction management and on-the-spot instruction by combining with new IT technology. Above all, it is safe to say that the application of RFID technology can play a pivotal role at this point, but it is not that easy to apply RFID due to the physical, chemical and environmental peculiarities of construction materials. Thus, a study on the standardization of the usable frequency, specifications, protocol, and package administration is required. This study, as part of the study on the standardization, figured out the restrictions by attaching the existing RFID Tag to the construction materials, turned out the prototype of RFID Tag to perform a field test. In result the effective recognition range varies according to the physical and environmental peculiarities of construction materials; and the management efficiency varies as the attaching method and/or applying method. To analyze the management method (media, process etc.) systematically for the existing construction materials; to prepare more various restrictions and its solutions for practical construction spots will be the key for successful RFID implementation.

  • As an automatic identification technology, in which electronic tags are attached to items and system auto-identifies informations of the items using wireless communication technology, use of RFID system is increasing in various fields. According to that, related security problems are becoming important issue. Up to now, many authentication protocols have been proposed to solve security problem of RFID system. In this paper, We show that the RFID authentication protocols in [9, 10], which are compatible with Type C RFID system in ISO 18000-6 Amd1[8], are vulnerable to a spoofing attack. In addition, we propose improved protocols having small additional cost over the original protocols.

  • With the growth of RFID market in logistics industry, such as post office, airline, shipping etc., development of RFID readers and tags becomes crucial. Especially, $860{\sim}960MHz$ RFID is worth noticing because of its long identification range and low production cost. Therefore, performance tests and verification of reader and/or tag under development are very important. In this paper, a RFID emulator system is designed and implemented using a commercial CAD tool, a signal generator and a data acquisition device. With the RFID emulator system, many parameters such as spectrum masks, transmit power levels, data waveform and other RF characteristics can be analyzed. Furthermore it can be applied to the verification of real RFID Readers or Tags.

  • This study intends to surveyrequirements for port and logistics supply chain management with RFID {Radio Frequency IDentification)technology. Port and logistics supply chain management has become a critical issue due to the necessity of efficiency, visibility, trace-ability, etc. Since the introduction of RFID technology, its performance, reliability, validity, and safety have been a concern in most industries. Particularly, in port and logistics supply chain management, RFID has the potential to track the movement of containers and to provide in-transit visibility toward customers. In thispaper we consider some critical issues related to port and logistics supply chain management, which previously adopted RFID technology. In order to successfully design and adopt RFID technology and utilize it as optimally as is possible in the port and logistics industry, it is necessary to understand the potential of shipping companies and their requirements in adopting RFID technology in port and logistics.
