About the Workshop

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless communication technology that uses radio-frequency waves to transfer information between tagged objects and readers without line of sight. This creates tremendous opportunities for linking various objects from the real world. These objects are numbered, identified, catalogued, and tracked. In recent years, RFID is emerging as an important technology for revolutionizing a wide range of applications including supply chain management, retail, aircraft maintenance, anti-counterfeiting, healthcare, just to cite a few. RFID technology is bringing a revolution to the way that we track items in business applications such as manufacturing, the logistics distribution, various stages of supply chains, retail store, and asset management applications. The ubiquitous computing and sensor networks are now generating a very large volume of temporal and spatial data that is often with noises and duplicates. RFID tags are much more than barcode replacement in terms of base technology and the applications. RFID technology also provides many more advantages than the smart card technologies and poses many interesting challenges to the data processing and management systems. Understanding these new technology implications and its new applications is a key to enable Australian ICT professionals to face these new challenges to our society.
