RFID-AINA 2011 - The Fourth International Workshop on RFID & WSN and its Industrial Applications (RFID-AINA 2011)

The 4th International Workshop on RFID & WSN and its Industrial Applications

in Conjunction with IEEE AINA 2011, March 22-25, 2011, Biopolis, Singapore

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) are considered to be the two elements of pervasive computing and are persistent in gathering the interest of research community since from past few years since it has opened new challenges with the development of interesting application like surveillance, environment monitoring, supply chain management, real time asset tracking and logistics etc. RFID has limited sense range and can be enhanced by the merger of the two above said technologies. RFID in conjunction with WSN, next generation real time tracking system, can possibly be ideal for Automated Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) which has revolutionized the overall supply chain management process. The development of efficient protocols for WSN communication as well as development of RFID based WSN motes itself posed numerous challenges for the research community. And for achieving the longevity of the network energy efficient design is of paramount importance for such networks. The workshop aims to bring together the research community working in the similar areas. It will be held in conjunction with AINA 2010, thus providing an ideal opportunity for researchers and especially high degree PhD research students to present their latest work and have a valuable feedback from experts.

Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished work that clearly demonstrate their research related to energy efficient WSN/WMSN, RFID based systems.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following featured topics:

Hardware aspects of RFID based WSN sensor design
Energy Conservation and Management techniques for such networks
Energy-aware communication protocols
Security, privacy, and data integrity in RFID based WSN
Cross-layer optimization
Collaborative signal processing
Quality-of-Service, Supply chain optimization
Simulation tools, operating systems and middleware
Scalability of wireless sensor networks
Integration with Other System
RFID /WSN networks and the Web for improving freight efficiency
Prototypes, field studies, and test bed
Applications such as environment, petroleum, healthcare, security, Supply chain, and agriculture.
The business cases for RFID Realizing a return on investment
