“…On the other hand, there are still latent problems in the EPCglobal Network architecture that must be solved to reach a proper functioning: global network synchronization, scalability, security access to the EPC-IS and ONS, and so on. There are some outstanding works in the scientific literature that attempt to minimize and address these problems [46][47][48][49][50]. …”

Radio frequency identification technology (RFID) is considered as the reference technology for wireless identification and item traceability. Supermarkets are one of those scenarios where the RFID potential can be harnessed. In theory, RFID in supermarkets shows several advantages compared with traditional barcode systems, offering real-time inventory, stock control, cash queues, among others. In practice, its massive and global implementation is still being delayed due to the high quantity of factors that degrade the RFID system performance in these scenarios, causing uncontrolled items and identification losses and, at the end, economical losses. Some works in the scientific literature studied a single or a set of problems related to RFID performance, mostly focused on a specific communication layer: antennas and hardware design, interferences at physical layer, medium access control (MAC) protocols, security issues, or middleware challenges. However, there are no works describing in depth the set of factors affecting RFID performance in a specific scenario and contemplating the entire communication layer stack. The first challenge of this chapter is to provide a complete analysis of those physical and environmental factors, hardware and software limitations, and standard and regulation restrictions that have a direct impact on the RFID system performance in supermarkets. This analysis is addressed by communication layers, paying attention to the point of view of providers, supermarket companies, and final customers. Some of the most feasible and influential research works that address individual problems are also enumerated. Finally, taking the results extracted from this study, this chapter provides a Guide of Good Practices (GGPs), giving a global vision for addressing a successful RFID implementation project, useful for researchers, developers, and installers.

“…Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) and the EPC [11]. Several EPCglobal Discovery Services proposals have enriched the literature [20,17,18,6,16,4], although their final requirements definition has not been closed yet by EPCglobal. The Object Naming System (ONS) [12] can be viewed as a primitive Discovery Service restricted by design to the manufacturer's data sources.…”

The EPCglobal Network is a global network that provides trade partners with real-time and accurate data sharing capabilities. Discovery Services refer to a suite of network services performing the critical lookup function, which consists of querying a common repository in order to localize all information sources with relevant data. Given the high sensitivity of the exchanged data in the EPCglobal Network, it becomes crucial to secure Discovery Services. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic security scheme capable of detecting suspicious Discovery Services queries during transaction. The query is first converted into a vector of observed real values. These observed values are assumed to follow a Gaussian distribution both for safe and suspicious queries. Then, a classification algorithm computes a score for each state; i.e. safe and suspicious, and infers the state of the query. We conducted extensive experiments. The results show that, compared to a simple Gaussian model, our proposed scheme improves both the detection rate and the false alarm rate.

“…These nodes form a structured P2P overlay network with each node having a partial view of the other nodes. Manzanares-Lopez et al [31] proposed a distributed discovery service for the EPCglobal network based on a P2P architecture, which offers item-level track and trace capabilities along the whole supply chain, also when items are not directly visible, since they are loaded within different storage systems (i.e., packages, boxes, containers, etc.). These peerto-peer approaches typically adopt Distributed Hash Table (DHT) techniques.…”

Current trends towards the Future Internet are envisaging the conception of novel services endowed with context-aware and autonomic capabilities to improve end users' quality of life. The Internet of Things paradigm is expected to contribute towards this ambitious vision by proposing models and mechanisms enabling the creation of networks of "smart things" on a large scale. It is widely recognized that efficient mechanisms for discovering available resources and capabilities are required to realize such vision. The contribution of this work consists in a novel discovery service for the Internet of Things. The proposed solution adopts a peer-to-peer approach for guaranteeing scalability, robustness, and easy maintenance of the overall system. While most existing peer-to-peer discovery services proposed for the IoT support solely exact match queries on a single attribute (i.e., the object identifier), our solution can handle multiattribute and range queries. We defined a layered approach by distinguishing three main aspects: multiattribute indexing, range query support, peer-to-peer routing. We chose to adopt an over-DHT indexing scheme to guarantee ease of design and implementation principles. We report on the implementation of a Proof of Concept in a dangerous goods monitoring scenario, and, finally, we discuss test results for structural properties and query performance evaluation.
