Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an exciting, rapidly growing, multidisciplinary field with emerging technologies and applications. The 2012 IEEE International Conference on RFID is the premier conference for exchanging all technical RFID-related research. The conference attendance boasts an outstanding mix of practitioners and researchers from industry and academia, from around the world, and spanning numerous disciplines. IEEE RFID 2012 is an opportunity to share timely research results in all areas of RFID technologies and their applications.
The 2012 IEEE International Conference on RFID is seeking original, high-impact research papers on the following important RFID-related topics. Papers will be selected based on clarity, originality, importance of the problem, technical merit, and the potential impact of the results. All papers will be rigorously reviewed through a double-blind review process by multiple active researchers in the field.
Antennas & Propagation: Antenna theory and designs, channel measurements and modeling
Applications: Reports on the introduction and operational experience of RFID applications; applications papers should have a strong technical focus and address a research issue
Circuits, Devices & Interrogators: Low-power RFID circuit designs, energy harvesting, non-silicon and chipless RFID, interrogator architecture, detection, sensitivity, read rate optimizations, multi-interrogator coordination and interference
Communication Protocols: Coding, modulation, anti-collision, and medium access schemes for RFID systems
Localization: Novel system approaches, technologies, and algorithms
Security & Privacy: Cryptographic protocols and privacy-enhancing techniques
Sensors: Integration of sensors with RFID tags, including active, passive, or chipless mechanisms; RFID sensor modeling and analysis
Software: RFID software, middleware, and network applications
Others: Deployment issues and concerns, policy, regulatory issues, system tools, or other topics that do not fit within one of the above categories
