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.
