RFID applications are mostly associated with the timestamp when the events occur. For managing RFID data we need to design data modeling for RFID data to support monitoring and temporal queries. In this paper, we propose a temporal RFID data modeling to maintain the history of events and state changes and to monitor the states of RFID objects. This data modeling involves essential basic operations for RFID data to monitor the information of RFID objects and to support temporal queries. Filter operations can achieve better query performance and obtain efficient storage space usage. It is possible to adapt into different temporal business applications.

Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) technology is set to play an essential role in object tracking or supply chain management systems. New challenges for RFID data management are needed in the RFID applications. RFID data are generated quickly and automatically, and can be used for object tracking, or for real-time monitoring. These applications are mostly associated with the timestamps when the events happen. In this paper, we propose a temporal RFID data model to maintain the history of events and state changes and to monitor the states of RFID objects. Also we propose data filtering method of non active data based on temporal RFID data model. This data model involves essential basic operations for RFID data. We show increased query performance through the data filtering method of non active data.

A RFID is an automatic data collection system based on the radio frequency and is the key technology of ubiquitous computing environments. Since the locations of objects attached by RFID tags can be acquired by readers, it is possible to query the locations of tags. To query tags efficiently, the data of RFID tags should be modeled and indexed. However, since the location information of tags, the predicates of queries, are differ from coordinates of moving objects, it is difficult to model tags under the concept of moving objects, In this paper, we propose the location model of tags to represents the trajectories of tags. The location model is composed of the set and graph based approaches.

EPCIS(EPC Information Services) system is a core component of EPCglobal Architecture Framework offering information of the freights, the time of awareness and the location of awareness on the EPCglobal Network. The role of EPCIS is to exchange information based on EPC. There are four kinds of event data which are object event data, aggregation event data, quantity event data, and transaction event data. These EPCIS events data are stored and managed in EPCIS repository. This study suggest the quantitative modeling about total number of EPCIS event data under the assumption to aware the RFID tags of items, cases(boxes), vehicles(carriers, forklifts, auto guided vehicles, rolltainers) at a time on the reading points. We also estimate the number of created EPCIS event data by the suggested quantitative modeling under scenario of process in the integrated logistics center based on RFID system And this study compare the TO-BE model with the AS-IS model about the total sizes of created EPCIS event data using the simulation, in which we suggested the TO-BE model as the development of the repository by skipping the overlapped records.

RFID 기술을 이용함으로써 얻을 수 있는 많은 장점으로 인하여, 공급망에서 발생하는 실시간 제품 정보를 수집하고 관리하기 위하여 RFID 기술이 도입되고 있다. 기존의 RFID 기반의 공급망 관리 시스템은 제품의 위치에 따른 가시성은 확보할 수 있지만, 제품의 모든 상태에 따른 가시성은 확보하지 못한다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 공급망 상의 제품 이동을 계획하고, 제품이 계획에 따라 이동할 때 발생하는 정보를 실시간으로 모니터링하고 통제할 수 있는 제품 상태 기반의 물류 통제 시스템을 설계하고 개발하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 첫째, 공급망에서 발생하는 제품 상태의 정의와 상태 변화의 흐름을 state chart로 표현하고, 둘째, 공급망에서의 폐쇄형관리 패러다임을 통한 제품 통제(감시 및 예외처리)를 정의하였으며, 셋째, Temporal data modeling을 통해 RFID 데이터 기반의 Database를 설계하고, 마지막으로, Publish/Subscribe 모델을 통해 효율적인 제품 상태 기반의 물류 통제 시스템 아키텍처를 설계하였다.

Electronic Product Code Information Services(EPCIS) is an EPCglobal standard for sharing EPC related information between trading partners. EPCIS provides a new important capability to improve efficiency, security, and visibility in the global supply chain. EPCIS data are classified into two categories, master data (static data) and event data (dynamic data). Master data are static and constant for objects, for example, the name and code of product and the manufacturer, etc. Event data refer to things that happen dynamically with the passing of time, for example, the date of manufacture, the period and the route of circulation, the date of storage in warehouse, etc. There are four kinds of event data which are Object Event data, Aggregation Event data, Quantity Event data, and Transaction Event data. This thesis we propose an event-based data model for EPC Information Service repository in RFID based integrated logistics center. This data model can reduce the data volume and handle well all kinds of entity relationships. From the point of aspect of data quantity, we propose a formula model that can explain how many EPCIS events data are created per one business activity. Using this formula model, we can estimate the size of EPCIS events data of RFID based integrated logistics center for a one day under the assumed scenario.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경의 실현 가능성이 높아지면서 Automatic identification and Data Capture(AIDC)에 대한 많은 연구들이 이루어지고 있다. AIDC 기술 중 하나인 Radio Frequency IDentification(RFID)는 라디오 주파수에 따라 반응하는 태그를 이용하여 사람이나 사물을 인식하는 기술이다. 또한 RFID 특성을 지원하면서 발생 이벤트를 효율적으로 처리하기 위해 다양한 미들웨어가 개발되고 있다. 그러나 미들웨어의 지원에도 불구하고 RFID 시스템 개발자는 많은 부가적 지식을 알아야만 한다. 이 점을 해결하여 RFID 기술을 편리하게 사용하도록 돕는 Business Aware Framework(BizAF)이 제시되었다. 본 논문에서는 BizAF를 기반으로 여러 애플리케이션을 개발한 경험을 바탕으로 RFID 비즈니스 이벤트들을 생성하기 위한 모델링 프로세스를 제시하고자 한다.

The emergence of RFID markets and development of various RFID-embedded mobile devices has brought fundamental changes to our lives. As the availability of RFID readers and tags that are implanted in smart phones and table PCs increases, information on RFID-affixed objects can be tracked wirelessly and this had open possibilities for B2B businesses to be run like B2C businesses. However, given the popularity of the RFID markets, there is limited research in this area. This paper serves to develop an extended technology acceptance model by Mobile RFID characteristics (perceived cost, security, instant connectivity, context awareness, and result demonstrability) examines the determinant factors that cause the acceptance of mobile RFID. To do so, the study conducted a survey targeting smart phone users and used the PLS path modeling, one of the structural equation models to verify the significance of research hypothesis. As a result, perceived cost, instant connectivity, context awareness, and result demonstrability turned out to have a real effect on intention to use mobile RFID by means of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Security turned out to have a partial effect on intention to use mobile RFID by means of perceived usefulness or perceived ease of Use.

In the recent years, the companies have manually recorded a production status in a work diary or have mainly used a bar code in order to collect each process's progress status, production performance and quality information in the production and logistics process in real time. But, it requires an additional work because the worker's record must be daily checked or the worker must read it with the bar code scanner. At this time, data's accuracy is decreased owing to the worker's intention or mistake, and it causes the problem of the system's reliability. Accordingly, in order to solve such problem, the companies have introduced RFID which comes into the spotlight in the latest automatic identification field. RFID is an automatic identification technology by radio communication technology that allows us to identify or record information without contacting the corresponding object, and as Gen2 and EPCIS, EPCglobal's standard tag for RFID, have recently been established, it will be introduced to the whole computation industry. This study suggests RFID type Modeling Notation for analyzing logistics flow to improve MES focusing on extended model of EPCIS, and EPCISEvent Template in manufacturing industry.

There have been research and developments for effective and efficient logistics and progress management in a construction project. Among them, RFID+4D has been developed for the supply chain management of long-lead item materials such as steel component, precast concrete component and curtain wall by integrating RFID with 4D CAD. And the feasibility of RFID+4D has been verified and validated and the benefits in terms of time and cost were shown in several case studies. However, the previous development of RFID+4D has not been adapted widely because of additional modeling cost, non-real time data update, additional labor for data update, and so forth. Therefore, this research has proposed a framework and process for solving these problems. And the web based simulation system has been developed and verified based on the proposed framework. The proposed framework and process can improve the existing RFID+4D system in a construction project by saving its operation cost and utilizing project information more efficiently and effectively. Also it is expected that the proposed framework could be applied to a method transferring design RIM data to construction BIM data.
