We are entering into a era of enterprise computing that is characterized by an emphasis on broadband convergence, knowledge s haring, and calm services. Some people refer to this as the "ubiquitous" computing because its focus is on a high degree of connectivity between a company and its customers, suppliers, and channel partners. Ubiquitous computing technology, "RF" stands for "radio frequency"; the "ID" means "identifer". The tag itself of a computer chip and an antenna. The shortest metaphor is that RFID is like a bar-code but is read with an electromagnetic field rather than by a laser beam. Much has already been written about the use of RFID. But there is no has written about the use of RFID in the convention industry. Therefore this study have specific objectives as follows. 1. To give details on the use of RFID in convention. 2. To introduces the key concepts behind RFID technology. 3. To identify advantage & disadvantage of RFID technology using a BEXCO CASE study. 4. To study on ubiquitous convention using RFID and effective operation methods such as entrance identification system, session management, machine management, CRM management, visitor management, and contents management. This results provide into the current status of ubiquitous computing technology in convention industries. Specific advantages by using ubiquitous computing technology(RFID) are one-stop differentiate service, wireless internet service, use of visitor management system, entrance by tag, and U-logistics. On other side, disadvantages are security, stabilization of RFID system, higher price of RFID tag, and commercial scale. Convention by using of RFID technology is currently at an early stage. Convention company as BEXCO need to have the capabilities to adapt, to customize, to commercialize, and to modify technology to suit our circumstances.

This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between the physical dimensions of ear and age for swine. The physical dimensions of ear and weight for twenty pigs were investigated on 1, 20, 40, 90, 120, and 150 days of age, respectively. The thickness of ear was measured at the upper, middle, and lower part of fore perimeter, and the middle and lower part of hind perimeter. The length of ear was measured for width and height. The thickness of ear increased rapidly from 1 day to 20 days of age, then it developed gradually after that period of time. The thickness at the lower part of fore perimeter increased most rapidly from 1 day to 20 days of age. In the length of ear, width increased gradually whereas height increased rapidly from 1 day to 90 days of age and then they almost did not. All the regression equations between the physical dimensions of ear and age were best represented by $Y=a+b\;X^{0.5}$. These results suggest that RFID has to be installed on the middle part of hind perimeter and an ID chip has to be installed on the lower part of fore perimeter.

RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification: 라디오 주파수 인식)란 라디오 주파수를 활용해서 무선으로 사물을 인식하는 것을 의미한다. RFID 기술을 구성하는 기본 요소는 태그, 안테나, 리더 등이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 RFID 기술의 기본 요소와 더불어 인식된 사물의 정보를 광범위하게 구축되어 있는 유${\cdot}$무선 네트워크와 연결하여 활용할 수 있는 모든 기술을 RFID 기술로 정의하였다. 비록 최근에 RFID 기술이 여러 분야에서 큰 이슈로 떠오르고 있지만, 실제 RFID 기술은 오래전인 2차 세계대전에 영국군의 자국 전투기 식별을 위해 이미 활용되고 있었다. 그러나 그 당시에는 RFID 기술의 구성요소인 태그나 리더의 값이 고가였기 때문에 특정분야에 한해 RFID 기술을 적용할 수 있었다. 그 이후에 1990년대에 이르러 RFID 기술은 가축관리, 컨테이너관리, IC 카드 등 점차 다른 분야로 적용이 확대되기 시작했다. 특히 반도체 기술의 발전이 급속도로 이루어진 1990년대 말을 기점으로 RFID 기술에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어져, 현재에는 SCM(Supply Chain Management), 국방, 의료, 교통, 환경, 동물관리, 홈 네트워크 등 다양한 분야에 적용이 가능한 기술로 평가되고 있다. 특히, SCM에 있어서 RFID 기술 도입은 큰 파급효과가 예상되고 있다. SCM을 구성하는 기업들은 RFID 기술 도입을 통해 제품의 가시성(visibility)과 추적성(traceability)을 확보할 수 있게 된다. 기업들은 자신의 제품이 현재 어디에 있으며 어떠한 경로를 통해 그 자리에 이르렀는지를 실시간(real time)으로 확인 가능하게 된다. 미국의 월마트사(社) 와 영국의 메트로사(社) 같은 선진 유통 기업들은 실증연구를 통해 RFID 기술 도입이 비용 절감과 함께 고객 서비스 향상을 도모할 것이라는 결론을 내린 바 있다. 또한 현제 초기단계이기는 하지만 실제 RFID 기술을 도입하여 운영 중에 있다. 국내에서도 정부주도 하에 RFID 기술에 대한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있으며, 지난 2004년에 유통 물류 분야의 1차 시범사업을 완료하였다. 그러나, 이러한 국내${\cdot}$외의 적극적인 도입 움직임에도 불구하고 국내에서는 아직 RFID기술 도입이 SCM(Supply Chain Management)에 있어서 구체적으로 어떠한 영향을 미치는가에 대한 연구가 거의 이루어지지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 특히 RFID 기술 도입 의사결정자에게 제공될 수 있는 정량적인 ROI 분석 모형에 관한 연구는 시급한 과제로 떠오르고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SCM 차원에서 RFID 기술 도입에 따른 ROI 분석 모형을 제시하고 적용해 보고자 한다.

With social interest, there hie been a lot of research on the Service Robot but now we are faced with the limitation of single platform. The alternative plan is the Ubiquitous-based Service Robot connected with a Ubiquitous network to overcome this limitation. Systems using RFID(Radio frequency Identification) and supersonic waves appeared for functions such as recognition of surroundings through Ubiquitous Sensor Networks. This was applied to the real robot and we have got good results. However, this has several limitations to applying to low power-based Sensor Network For example, if RFID uses a passive Sensor, the rate of recognition with the distance is limited. In case of supersonic waves, high power is required to drive them. Therefore, we intend to develop RSSI position recognition system on the basis of embodying a Sensor Network Module in this thesis. This RSSI position recognition system only measures RSSI of signals from each sensor nod. then converts them into distances and calculates the position. As a result, we can still use low power-based Sensor Network and overcome the limitation according to distance as planning Ad-Hoc Network.

In RFID-based cold-storage systems, product locations are recognized as the logical locations of RFID readers which are attached to the entrance of the cold rooms. However, through these methods, product locations can be incorrect in many different situations of a storage. Cold storage rooms have a huge rage in temperature, and the product in the cold-storage spoils easily. Therefore, highly precise product locations is very important for the product quality In this paper, a new approach is suggested to manage the storage location inaccuracy by adding two readers to existing forklift and attaching RFID tags to the ceiling. One reader recognizes ceiling tags to acquire location data, and the other recognizes product tags to acquire product detail data loaded on the forklift. The product can be seamlessly tracked and traced in realtime by monitoring and analyzing data gathered from these readers. Through the proposed location management method, the effectiveness of the product management in cold-storage can be improved consequently.

Nowadays Korean governments use Information Technology to improve the quality of life for a people. One of these tries is building the Food Tracing System based on Information Technology. Koreans have big concern about food that is good for health. The Food Tracing System means that the system can follows, traces, and records every steps of production and delivery of food and its ingredient. And this process should be identified and grouped by using tags, marks, and other methods. For example, producer of ingredient, processing steps of food, delivered place could be traced. In addition to food, medical herbs need consumer's trust in production and delivery. To trace and prosecute contaminated medical herbs, medical herbs also need this kind of Tracing System based on Information Technology. This study shows current medical herbs tracing ways and RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) technology trend. As preceding study for future RFID based medical herbs tracing system, this study suggests the building plan and scenario of the Medical Herbs Tracing System. The determination of the main body for sticking RFID Tags is very important to design for RFID Traceability System. In this study, the starting point of information to medical herbs is an inspection agency. The Medical Herbs to product domestically or import moved to an inspection agency. An inspection agency bond the RFID Tags to packing of the Medical Herbs after examining the a basic its component.

In this study, travel time data collection of mine equipments was conducted in an underground mine using a reverse Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) system. In the reverse RFID system, RFID readers and antennas are mounted on mine equipments, and RFID tags are attached to the underground mine gallery. Indoor experiments were performed to analyze how RFID reader transmission power levels affect tag readable area and tag recognition rates. The results showed that travel time measurement become precise when the reader transmission power was reduced, however tag recognition rates were reduced. The field experiments indicated that setting the reader transmission power to 28 dBm maintained the tag recognition rate while minimizing the tracking location error. In addition, the results revealed that the reverse RFID system can be used successfully in an underground mine to collect the travel time data of haulage trucks.

RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) is an emerging technology which brings enormous productivity benefits in applications where objects have to be identified automatically. But despite of RFID's advantage, it is not easy to realize the RFID technology in business world. The failure to read RFID tags is the most urgent problem that should be solved for RFID application. Specially, in metal and liquid material, recognition rate of RFID tag is lower than others. Though some special tags for metal and liquid have been invented, it has not prevalent in business world on account of high price. In this paper, styrofoam pad is suggested to improve recognition rate of RFID tag for metal pipe which is used in fish cultivating industry. We makes experiment using Taguchi method and analyze the effects on styrofoam thickness, attachment location of tag, and angle of antenna.
