Architecture Development for Sensor Integration in the EPCglobal Network

Abstract

Report Abstract: The integration of EPCglobal network and wireless sensor networking (WSN) technology explores a new technical horizon leveraging the simultaneous ID and sensor data manipulation. Although the importance of the two technologies, RFID and WSN, is widely recognized, their integration is still in its infancy. This white paper provides the fundamental classification of sensor integration to EPCglobal network, review of applications and existing and background technology to reveal the technical requirements. The ontology and a reference model, layout of roles and interfaces, of sensor-integrated EPCglobal network is derived.
