“…Since an RFID system can also generate a large amount of information that may need to be processed as a whole, distributed databases are not an option, but a need for large-scale systems. Some distributed architectures have been proposed for RFID systems [12], [13], [14], [15], but none is designed for the fast identification of tags. Indeed, their concern is how to handle the information coming from a tag after its identification and not the identification itself.…”

“…tracking of goods inside a supply chain or luggage control inside an airport. In such applications, several RFID readers are distributed over the system in order to identify tags passing through the RFID readers positions [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15]. Doing so, it is possible to obtain the trajectory of a tag by concatenating the reader's positions where the tag has been identified.…”

Abstract-RFID systems allow the fast and automatic identification of items through a wireless channel. Items' information like name, model, purpose, and expiration date can be easily stored and retrieved from RFID tags attached to items. Consequently, in the near future, RFID tags might be an active part of our every-day life when interacting with items around us. However, important security and privacy concerns arise from the wireless nature of this technology because tags are resourceconstrained devices that respond to any reader interrogation. Although these concerns have been successfully faced by symmetric cryptography schemes, managing a large number of tags is still cumbersome. Therefore, application-dependant solutions seem to be better for the secure, private and efficient identification of tags. In this paper, we propose a new scheme for the fast identification of tags based on readers strategically distributed throughout the system. Using the spatial location of tags, our scheme is able to expedite the identification of tags regardless of the identification protocol used. Furthermore, differently to previous proposals, our scheme is flexible and adaptable to any scenario and to any movement's pattern of tags.

Tracking and tracing individual items is a new and emerging trend in many industries. Driven by maturing technologies such as Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) and upcoming standards such as the Electronic Product Code (EPC), a rapidly increasing number of enterprises are collecting vast amounts of tracking data. To enable traceability over the entire life-cycle of items data has to be shared across independent and possibly competing enterprises. The need to simultaneously compete and cooperate requires a traceability system design that allows companies to share their traceability data while maintaining complete sovereignty over what is shared and with whom.Based on an extensive study of traceability applications, we introduce the formal concept of traceability networks and highlight the technical challenges involved in sharing data in such a network. To address these challenges, we present an innovative combination of query processing techniques from P2P networks and distributed as well as parallel databases with confidentiality enforcement techniques.

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) has emerged as the new technology paradigm for acquisition and information management. RFID can be used to improve significantly the efficiency of business processes by providing the capability of automatic identification and data capture. This technology introduces new challenges on data and process information management in current systems. RFID data are timedependent and dynamically changing. In addition, data carry implicit semantics. The homogeneous data processing of such implicit semantics allows us to propose RFID middleware as a WHO-WHEN-WHERE data problem. This paper presents DEPCAS, a new middleware for RFID information based on the SCADA architecture for control systems. An application of DEPCAS is the resolution of heterogeneous situations, which solves the WHAT or context-aware to apply the auto identification data received from RFID systems in business applications.
