Recently, RFID has emerged as the main technology in the logistic services. When the existing recognition technology based on bar codes brings about lots of problem due to its own limits. RFID becomes the center of attention to solve them. However, RFID is not without any obstacles: companies have their own operating systems, while RFID is developed regardless of each company's special features. RFID middleware system based on web service is expected to remove these obstacles. This paper shows how to operate the middleware based on web service and to lay in the DB the tag informations taken from reader system. Middle assures that companies adopting RFID system for their logistic service are given adaptability to any systems whatsoever, available by way of defining logistic information, tag information and reader information. For this purpose, we implement as the basic web service a middleware system that turns all data into XML(eXtensible Markup Language) of SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), the standard data.

RFID systems have been widely used in various fields such as logistics, distribution, food, security, traffic and others. A RFID middleware, one of the key components of the RFID system, perform an important role in many functions such as filtering, grouping, reporting tag data according to given user specifications and so on. However, manual test data generation is very hard because the inputs of the RFID middleware are generated according to the RFID middleware standards and complex encoding rules. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a black box test technique based on RFID middleware standards. Firstly, we define ten types of input conversion rules to generate new test data from existing test data based on the standard specifications. And then, using these input conversion rules, we generate various additional test data automatically. To validate the effectiveness of generated test data, we measure coverage of generated test data on actual RFID middleware. The results show that our test data achieve 78% statement coverage and 58% branch coverage in the classes of filtering and grouping, 79% statement coverage and 64% branch coverage in the classes of reporting.

At the ubiquitous computing, Mobile RFID, which the convergence RFID and mobile device, researches are core method and infra to service B2B, B2C, and B2B2C service domain. We propose the functions of middleware to develop the mobile RFID device. It consists of multi-code integrated recognition module, the reader control module, the module code interpretation, and Dispatcher module. These functions can recognize the tag of EPC/ISO and mCode type. We describe the zone file of local ODS and the implemented module to read the 13.56MHz tag.

For providing smart home service, middleware technologies for electronic appliance control by network and user location information for location based service are important. Recently research using ultrasonic and radio signal are affected by the obstacle. In this paper, we suggest inertial sensor that is not affected by the obstacle. Also, we use RFID for initializing position. It solve error accumulation and position initialize problem. In this paper, we suggest following system for smarthome service and localization. This system are composed smarthome middleware, user localization system on middleware, inertial sensor and RFID Reader. This system shows operation without affect of obstacle in smarthome environment.

This paper deals with the middleware and S/W development of real time automatic attendance check management system using ubiquitous 900Mhz RFID(Radio Frequency Identification). This system supports the real time automatic attendance check and necessary data processing in class management. We expect to decrease the effort for class management and to upgrade the status of real time management of class.

In this paper, we configure a Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) gateway using an arduino and raspberry pi which are recent issues with a representative open source hardware. RFID technology is emerging as a key technology in a variety of environments as a technique to automatically identify objects using a radio frequency signal. In this paper, we propose a distributed RFID gateway for providing various communication methods and processing a large amount of RFID tag information efficiently, and to increase the scalability and middleware communication efficiency of the RFID reader. Existing RFID middleware systems have the problems that they should adhere the web service for interworking with a reader and the communication standard. Therefore, in this paper, we comprise our RFID gate to satisfy not only the serial communication configuration but also various digital signal processing standard so that it increases the communication efficiency of the middleware system.

최근 RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)기술은 다양한 분야에서 관심을 받고 사용되고 있으며 RFID 리더의 종류도 매우 다양하다. 이러한 RFID 리더들을 지원하기 위해 RFID 미들웨어는 리더에서 지속적으로 발생하는 데이터를 수집, 제어, 관리하는 기능을 가지고 있으며 다양한 형태의 RFID 리더 인터페이스를 지원하여 이기종 RFID 리더와의 연동을 용이하게 한다. 현재 표준 규약에 따른 RFID 미들웨어들이 개발되고 있으며 RFID 표준 단체인 EPCglobal에서는 EPC (Electronic Product Code) 처리 시스템에서 RFID 태그를 인식한 리더가 애플리케이션 계층으로 데이터를 전달하는 역할을 하는 ALE (Application Level Events)라는 RFID 미들웨어를 제시하였다. 그러나 표준을 따르는 RFID 미들웨어는 그 자체가 복잡하고 부피가 크며 가격이 높기 때문에 이를 기반으로 한 시스템은 개발 속도가 늦어지고, 유지보수가 힘들어진다. 따라서 한 기업 내에서 사용되는 애플리케이션의 크기가 소규모 또는 중규모인 경우를 위해 보다 가벼운 RFID 미들웨어가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 RFID 리더를 처리하기 위한 리더 매니저와 애플리케이션의 목적에 맞는 이벤트를 생성하는 쿼리 매니저를 가진 경량의 RFID 미들웨어를 개발하고자 한다. 리더 매니저는 RFID 리더를 관리하기 위한 추상 어댑터를 제공하고 리더 구성 XML 파일을 이용하여 RFID 리더를 관리한다. 쿼리 매니저는 질의 조건을 주기적으로 체크하는 스케줄러를 통해 RFID 이벤트를 관리한다. 본 경량적 RFID 미들웨어는 하드웨어의 투명성을 지원하며, 유지보수가 용이하고 유연성과 확장성을 제공하는 RFID 애플리케이션을 개발할 수 있도록 해준다.

Efficient filtering is an important factor in RFID system performance. Because of huge volume of tag data in future ubiquitous environment, if RFID readers transmit tag data without filtering to upper-layer applications, which results in a significant system performance degradation. In this paper, we provide an efficient filtering technique which operates on RFID air protocol. RFID air protocol filtering between tags and a reader has some advantages over filtering in readers and middleware, because air protocol filtering reduces the volume of filtering work before readers and middleware start filtering. Exploiting the air protocol filtering advantage, we introduce a geometrical algorithm for generating air protocol filters and verify their performance through simulation with analytical time models. Results of dense RFID reader environment show that air protocol filtering algorithms reduce almost a half of the total filtering time when compared to the results of linear search.
