Workshop on Advances In RFID (AIR'08)
(October 22-24, 2008, Xi'An,
China, in conjunction with ICEBE 2008)
In the current age of intense global competition, companies continuously seek innovative
ways to create differentiation, cut cost and increase profits through the delivery of highly
competitive products, solutions, and services. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is
such an emerging technology with great potentials enabling real time information
visibility via wireless object identification, and object track and trace. Furthermore, RFID
technology is expected to become a critical and ubiquitous infrastructure enabling
technology, along with unprecedented explosion in sensor and wireless networking
technologies to support seamless dynamically created communication and
interconnections. Plentiful real world deployment towards developing emerging business
opportunities via adopting RFID technologies demonstrates the practical use of RFID
driving for business value through business operation and service innovations. It is
evident through the support of agile and responsive business planning and business
decisions by enabling the use of timely information from business participants'
information systems, leading to, for example, shorter lead times, reduced working capital
needs, and closer customer relationships.
This workshop will provide a prestigious forum bringing together both researchers and
practitioners to exchange views on all aspects of RFID, from technologies to business
case studies. The workshop is intended to foster the dissemination of state-of-the-art
research and development in advances of RFID deployment in various public and
industry sectors. The workshop welcomes paper submissions regarding RFID related
innovative technologies, innovative use of RFID technologies, and innovative
applications and services related to RFID. Topics are listed as, but not limited to, follows,
- RFID technologies
- RFID hardware, infrastructure, and software (RFID tag and reader design and
implementation, RFID middleware, RFID networks, RFID system architecture
and implementation, RFID service platforms, RFID information systems, etc)
- RFID security and privacy protection
- RFID data and stream management
- RFID sensor and internetworking technologies
- RFID ranging, localization
- RFID applications and application enablement
- RFID applications in various public and industry sectors (e.g. logistics, SCM,
library, transportation, healthcare, manufacturing, etc.)
- RFID application enablement (RFID enablement for warehouse, retail stores,
service industry, etc.)
- RFID deployment cases
- RFID experience sharing
- RFID project and case studies
- RFID deployment concerns
- RFID decision support tools
- RFID technology adoption and evaluation
- RFID benchmarking and testing
- RFID technology evaluation
- RFID technology adoption study
Papers must be submitted electronically. The format of
submitted papers should follow the guidelines for the IEEE conference proceedings,
limited to 6 pages. All papers will be peer reviewed by at least three reviewers. Accepted
papers will be published in the workshop proceedings of the ICEBE 2008 by the
IEEE CS Press. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as a full
participant of the workshop to have the paper published in the proceedings.
