3rd International Workshop on RFID & WSN and its Industrial Applications 


in Conjunction with 
 
IEEE International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and 
Applications
April 20-23, 2010
Perth, Australia
 
 
INTRODUCTION

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Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished work that 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
