Towards the Internet of Things: An Introduction to RFID Technology

Miguel L. Pardal, José Alves Marques

2010

Abstract

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification technology making its way to supply chains in Retail, Pharmaceutical, and other industries. RFID extends the reach of supply chain information systems in such a way that it will soon be possible and economically feasible to tag valuable physical objects and then to track and trace them, enabling many novel and useful applications. This paper provides an introduction to RFID for practitioners with a computer science background.
