“…Mobile devices are small, have reduced computational capabilities and usually provide only a limited user interface. At the same time, interactions designed for mobile devices have to consider numerous additional requirements and constraints due to the mobility of the user, the mobile device and the information [6].…”

Over the past decade, millions of artefacts have been tagged using the RFID technology. They have been augmented with a digital presence and integrated into various processes and workflows. However, RFID is still mainly regarded as a link between a physical artefact and a digital database. Location, fixation and appearance of RFID tags are solely functional parameters with little reference to interaction aspects of the design of the artefact. It is time to go beyond this informationcentric view of RFID.An RFID-tagged artefact is a digitally augmented part of the real world and interacting with such an artefact therefore provides subjective meaning for their users, both in itself and within its particular context. Thus, these interactions need to be carefully integrated into the prevalent workflows of the users. A natural and convenient interaction with augmented artefacts is crucial for the success of future RFID-applications.In this study we present a thorough investigation of advanced metaphors for interacting with RFID-tagged physical artefacts in a rich real-world context. We show how these metaphors may intuitively augment physical artefacts and how they may improve relevant industrial workflows. Therefore we present a number of case studies in the domain of industrial maintenance. We also present a novel RFID reading-glove that was used in our studies. This glove differs from existing products by its special antenna configuration allowing natural reading by simple finger-pointing. Finally, we discuss implementation issues of the proposed interaction metaphors in industrial applications.

This is the first book to present the topic of e-maintenance, which has appeared in the scientific and technological discussions at conferences and meetings during the last decade. E-maintenance is a synthesis of two large trends in our society: on the one hand the growing importance of maintenance as a key technology to keep machines running properly, efficiently and safely in industry and transportation, and on the other hand, the very rapid development of information and communication technology (ICT). This has opened the way to completely new concepts and solutions with more detailed equipment for health information and more effective diagnostic and prognostic tools and user interfaces to ensure good reliability and availability of plants and vehicles remotely worldwide.The authors of the book are European top experts on ICT and maintenance technology both from academia and industry. They have worked very intensively together for the last four years, starting in 2005 within the European Commission funded research and development project DYNAMITE -Dynamic Decisions in Maintenance. The R&D group consisted of about 50 experts altogether from nine European countries: Estonia,
