商品簡介
This book presents leading examples of radio frequency identification (RFID) research being developed for part identification and health systems, and examines the data convergence required for the technology to be used effectively. The leading chapter gives an overview of the development of RFID. Sections then cover identification systems, uses in health areas such as assisted living and emergency management, and data and convergence issues. A final section of six readings provides further information on RFID applications, with examples from library management systems, a mobile computing framework for passive RFID detection systems in health care, and semantic-based Bluetooth-RFID interaction for advanced resource discovery in pervasive contexts. A detailed table of contents gives summaries of each chapter. Contributors are from New Zealand, Europe, Australia, Asia, and the US. Symonds is affiliated with Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand. The book's readership includes researchers and advanced students.
