Description

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is rapidly changing the
way businesses track inventory and assets. From Wal-Mart and Tesco to the
U.S. Department of Defense, early efforts are already showing benefits,
but software, integration, and data processing for RFID still present a
challenge. If you are a developer or an architect charged with
developing an RFID system, this book is for you. Drawing on extensive
experience, Bill Glover and Himanshu Bhatt provide you with essential
information on this emerging technology.

With the knowledge you gain in these pages, you will possess the
information and understanding you need to start designing, building, or
integrating with RFID systems.

In RFID Essentials you will find information on:

  • Tags and tag protocols, including the Electronic Product Code (EPC)
  • Readers and reader protocols
  • RFID middleware
  • Security and privacy
  • Managing RFID devices
  • RFID's impact on your architecture


Bill Glover has been writing software since 1981 and has worked as a
programmer, lead developer, or architect on systems of all sizes, from
small, automated systems controlling dams and feedmills up to a
complete redesign and reimplementation of one of the world's busiest
travel web sites. Bill first worked with RFID in 1995, tracking
individual cattle using ear tags. He is currently a Senior Java
Architect with Sun Microsystems, Inc., and works with Sun's RFID
consulting practice and the RFID Test Center.


Himanshu Bhatt heads the U.S. RFID Practice and Software Technology Lab
for Sun Microsystems, Inc. Prior to assuming this role, Himanshu was
responsible for business development and consulting in emerging areas
of technology. Himanshu has over 16 years of experience in the
architecture and development of distributed, multitier systems using a
host of technologies for Fortune 1000 companies. Himanshu has spoken at
industry conferences such as JavaOne and the LoneStar Symposium and has
published articles on Java/J2EE technologies.

"The Information Age is over. We're entering an era where
network connectivity is almost ubiquitous - it's participate or perish."

--Jonathan Schwartz, President and COO, Sun Microsystems, Inc.


"Unique competitive advantage erupts from enterprises that couple the
RFID technologies laid out in RFID Essentials with modern business integration using service-oriented architectures. This is the book to read in order to understand this new landscape."

--Mark Bauhaus, Senior Vice President, Sun Microsystems, Inc.


"This is a must read for RFID Software and Solution architects and is
highly recommended for anyone needing to gain more insight into the myriad of components, standards and technologies that make up an RFID solutions environment."

--Bryan Tracey, Chief Architect, GlobeRanger Corporation


"The authors have done a commendable job of covering a lot of ground in
the RFID space, including the infrastructure needed to share the volumes of data RFID will likely generate."

--Graham Gillen, Senior Product Manager, VeriSign

描述

無線射頻識別(RFID)正在迅速改變企業追蹤庫存和資產的方式。從沃爾瑪和特斯科到美國國防部,早期的努力已經顯示出效益,但RFID的軟體、整合和資料處理仍然是一個挑戰。如果您是一位負責開發RFID系統的開發人員或架構師,這本書就是為您而寫的。Bill Glover和Himanshu Bhatt基於豐富的經驗,為您提供了關於這項新興技術的基本資訊。

通過這些頁面上所獲得的知識,您將擁有開始設計、建立或整合RFID系統所需的資訊和理解能力。

在《RFID Essentials》中,您將找到以下資訊:
- 標籤和標籤協議,包括電子產品代碼(EPC)
- 讀取器和讀取器協議
- RFID中介軟體
- 安全和隱私
- 管理RFID設備
- RFID對您的架構的影響

Bill Glover自1981年以來一直從事軟體開發工作,並在各種規模的系統上擔任程序員、首席開發人員或架構師,從控制水壩和飼料廠的小型自動化系統到世界上最繁忙的旅遊網站之一的完全重新設計和重新實施。Bill於1995年首次接觸RFID技術,使用耳標追蹤個別牛隻。他目前是Sun Microsystems公司的高級Java架構師,並與Sun的RFID諮詢實踐和RFID測試中心合作。

Himanshu Bhatt是Sun Microsystems公司美國RFID實踐和軟體技術實驗室的負責人。在擔任這一職務之前,Himanshu負責新興技術領域的業務發展和諮詢工作。Himanshu在分散式多層系統的架構和開發方面擁有超過16年的經驗,並使用各種技術為財富1000強公司提供服務。Himanshu曾在JavaOne和LoneStar Symposium等行業會議上發表演講,並發表了有關Java/J2EE技術的文章。
