RFID Data Management, Aggregation and Filtering

Author: Oleksandr Mylyy

Summary: RFID make it possible to create a "physically linked world" and does not require either line of sight or contact. It mentioned the components of an RFID system, characteristics of RFID data - simplicity, large volume, temporal, inaccuracy and so on - along with principles and a proposed layered architecture of effective RFID data management system. It moves on to discuss algorithms for data cleaning - including smoothing and duplicate elimination - after which, it talks about redundant reader elimination (or power saving) and unsatisfactory results of current algorithms (NP-Hard). It finally formalize the RFID event detection through a proposed language and concluded.

Warehousing and Analyzing Massive RFID Data Sets

Author(s): Hector Gonzalez, Jiawei Han, Xiaolei Li, Diego Klabjan

Summary: They propose a warehousing model to preserve object transition compressing and using path-dependent aggregates. (Items moving together and application requirement dictate bulky abstracts) It discusses different forms of compression that can be achieved in SCM systems at the cost of processing powers etc. It listed out:

  • Structure of the input data - and data cleaning method through merging the readings to get a time-in/time-out tuple instead of storing individaul periodic records.
     
  • Compressing and generalization methods for RFID warehouse design - through taking advantage of bulky movements, data generalization and collapsing of path segments.
     
  • Algorithms for constructing one - from lower level ones,
     
  • Methods for efficient processing of RFID queries and
     
  • Experiment results
