[rohrpost] RFID report

[Andreas Broeckmann]

PLAGUE OF ARFIDS
Three European experts have published a guide to Radio Frequency 
Identification technologies. Attaching an RFID tag (pronounced arfid) 
to a
physical object allows the object to be 'seen' and monitored by 
computer networks. This TechWatch report (by Matt Ward, Rob van 
Kranenburg,
and Gaynor Backhouse) includes a detailed examination of RFID 
technology, and discusses the vision of 'seamless' and 'calm' 
ubiquitous
computing being promoted - with more optimism than realism - by the 
European Commission.
