About this title

Synopsis

There is a need within radio-frequency identification (RFID) and other smart technologies to understand related practical implications. Auto-Identification and Ubiquitous Computing Applications : RFID and Smart Technologies for Information Convergence reports on problems related to the primary use of RFID technologies. This book provides a detailed overview of RFID literature, specifically in using RFID and smart technologies for identification, and draws together several different fields of research across supply chain management, asset tracking, and novel use of RFID for identification.
