RFID: From Concepts to Concrete Implementation

Overview Technologies of identification by Radio Frequencies (RFID) and their standardization with the Electronic Product Code (EPC) architecture experience a fast development. After briefly introducing the common terminology of the RFID field and a short presentation of its current standards, this paper presents one possible application domain: the tracking of objects. In this context, the distributed software architecture of a J2EE based assets tracking application, called RFIDLocator is further described. RFIDLocator allows to trace electronically labeled objects within a predefined area. Indeed, when tagged objects are moved, the monitoring information system is automatically informed thanks to readers deployed in their environment.
