Sommario/riassunto |
|
A Primer on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) This broad overview and guide to RFID technology and its application provides the initial "homework" for the reader interested in better understanding RFID technology and tools. It is written to provide an introduction for business leaders, supply chain improvement advocates, and technologists to help them adopt RFID tools for their unique applications, and provide the basic information for better understanding of RFID. RFID - A Guide to Radio Frequency Identification describes and addresses the following: . How RFID works, how it is used, and who is using it . The history of RFID technology, the current state of the art, and where RFID is expected to be taken in the future . The role of middleware software to route data between the RFID network and the information technology (IT) systems within an organization . The use of RFID technology in both commercial and government applications . The role and value of RFID industry standards and the current regulatory compliance environment . The issues faced by the public and industry regarding the wide-scale deployment of RFID technology With the global sales of active RFID systems forecast to grow from $500 million in 2006 to $6.78 billion in 2016, there's more need than ever for a comprehensive guide to RFID that gives practical answers to complex questions about how RFID works, how it's currently being used, and how it may be applied in the future. RFID - A Guide to Radio Frequency Identification is a one-stop resource for current information on commercial and government applications of RFID technology, with insightful focus on such specific uses as supply chain management, retail and consumer packaging, transportation and distribution of products, pharmaceutical applications, and security and access control. |

This volume contains the proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Logic Programming which was held in Sitges (Barcelona), Spain, from October 2nd to 5th, 2005. The conference was colocated with the International Conf- ence on ConstraintProgramming(CP 2005)and the following 6 post-conference workshops: - CICLOPS 2005: Colloquium on Implementation of Constraint and Logic Programming Systems - CSLP 2005: Constraint Solving and Language Processing - WCB 2005: Constraint Based Methods for Bioinformatics - WLPE 2005: Logic-Based Methods in Programming Environments - MoVeLog 2005: Mobile Code Safety and Program Veri'cation Using C- putational Logic Tools - CHR 2005: Constraint Handling Rules The conferencecoincided with a solareclipse, whichoccurredon October 3rd and was visible in Sitges. No conference activities were scheduled at the time of the eclipse to allow delegates to view this extraordinary astronomical event. Since the ?rst conference that was held in Marseilles in 1982, ICLP has been the premier international conference for presenting |

research in logic progr- ming. In this edition of the conference, extra attention was given to novel - plications of logic programming and to work providing novel integrations of di'erent areas. Colocation with CP 2005 further reinforced these themes, as it provided an opportunity for the exchange of ideas and cross-fertilization among two areaswhich havecommon roots. ICLP 2005and CP 2005sharedthe invited speakers to underscore this e'ort. ICLP 2005 broke new ground by holding a doctoral consortium for the ?rst time in the ICLP series of conference. |
