Those data are raw streams of RFID data, and do not bear any business meaning. A challenge issue in RFID middleware is the design of an appropriate mechanism for dealing with the mass data so that logical conclusions and state of the business can be derived. The paper investigates the issues related to effective RFID data management and introduces a great way to collect complex decision-making logic and handle the mass data generated by RFID reader networks using rule engine. Event-Condition-Action (ECA) rules are adopted. In our approach, RFID middleware's reactive functionality is specified and managed within a rule base rather than being encoded in programs. The flexibility and efficiency of RFID data processing is achieved. And the modularity, maintainability and extensibility of the RFID middleware are enhanced.","PeriodicalId":240968,"journal":{"name":"2007 1st Annual RFID Eurasia","volume":"80 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121301075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For many reasons, such investments are often difficult to justify by means of a traditional economic analysis alone. As a result, it is often necessary to consider the system wide benefits associated with ATs in order to justify their adoption. The objective of this paper is to develop an AT project selection model that takes particularly the uncertainty, that most of the advanced technology project has, into consideration. An example for AT projects that also includes RFID is used to illustrate the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":240968,"journal":{"name":"2007 1st Annual RFID Eurasia","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116212725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the late phases of their lifecycle (manufacturing, use and disposal) this product unit is splitted, separating the physical product from the related product data. This is exactly the point, where RFID opens new doors and provides new solutions. Many organisations use RFID in their manufacturing to identify product components, to find, differentiate and trace them. In a RFID managed product life cycle, the generated product data can be read automatically and forwarded to different IT systems such as quality management (CAQ) or product data management (PDM) systems. Thus, the product number recorded on a RFID tag allows the immediate access to the product information required from the data base. Specially the integration of product components and product data has a huge innovation potential. The use of RFID in the product life cycle neutralises the physical separation of product components and the related information. In this way, the product data related to a certain product make an impact on all phases of the product life cycle revolutionising the gain of information and the subsequent conclusions related to the product planning, development, production and deployment until recycling. Finally, the information which joins the product along its complete life cycle creates the individual product.","PeriodicalId":240968,"journal":{"name":"2007 1st Annual RFID Eurasia","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132505557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many companies invested a lot of money to change their IT systems in order to be more customer oriented, thus many different industries (retail, banking, airlines, insurance, hotels etc.) began with different CRM programs. Today nearly every company offers a different CRM or loyalty program. In the year of 2007, the problem is \"differentiation of loyalty programs\". As a marketing and customer manager, you have to be more accurate, more knowledgeable and faster than your competitors in terms of serving your best customer. In order to achieve this, you will to obtain important information from your customer without bothering him/her. Each time the customer will visit your company, you have to learn about him/her , about his/her needs, wishes and in return you have to optimize your offer according to her/his preferences. For building this kind of a learning relationship, companies have to use the latest technology. The aim of our study is to show this cooperation between CRM and latest technology of RFID.

The research uses semi-structured interviews to collect data, and a qualitative content analysis to present the results. Given that the number of RFID deployments in the retail supply chain is limited, RFID vendors, resellers, and associations are instead used to gather the current value propositions. Representatives from nine Australian RFID vendors and associations were interviewed in August and September of 2006. The results indicate that RFID can be used to minimize losses in the supply chain significantly and particularly address product authentication issues. For RFID to be adopted as a loss prevention mechanism, however, organizations must have some visibility of what constitutes product shrinkage in their retail supply chain, and the resultant monetary losses ensuing. All too often, return on investment (ROI) calculations on the adoption of RFID in retail, is calculated only on known sources of product shrinkage, while unknown sources are unaccounted.","PeriodicalId":240968,"journal":{"name":"2007 1st Annual RFID Eurasia","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122643743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
