Abstract

Typical RFID-device applications have provided users to each vendor-specific interface for supporting control and management of RF-tags and readers within their managed domain. Also, typical RFID-business applications have been implemented by using each event-data structure of RF-readers or RFID middlewares. RFID infrastructure managers, thus, are difficult to handle individual control and management specifications for managed RF-tags, devices and systems. Most RFID application services, also, are attached to providing visibility and traceability of an RF-tag item. To solve these problems, this paper proposes an RFID service management policy information model which supports to define unified control and management for heterogeneous RFID devices, middlewares and applications. This paper describes an example procedure that an RFID service management policy definition based on the proposed model is adaptively transformed and executed on a specific RFID sub-infrastructure.
