Description & Coverage
Description:

There is a need within radio-frequency identification (RFID) and other smart technologies to understand related practical implications.

Auto-Identification and Ubiquitous Computing Applications: RFID and Smart Technologies for Information Convergence reports on problems related to the primary use of RFID technologies. This book provides a detailed overview of RFID literature, specifically in using RFID and smart technologies for identification, and draws together several different fields of research across supply chain management, asset tracking, and novel use of RFID for identification.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Data modelling
  • Fixed-mobile convergence
  • Online tracking
  • Radio Frequency Identification
  • RFID and assisted living for the elderly
  • RFID for identification of stolen/lost items
  • RFID in emergency management
  • RFID in hospitals
  • Traceability management
  • Wireless indoor user positioning
Reviews & Statements

In this edited book we set out to showcase some of the more novel and innovative applications of RFID and smart technologies to show how the technology could add value to business.
