Software Abstractions for the Development of Mobile RFID-enabled Applications
Representing RFID-tagged physical objects as mutable software objects.
RFID-enabled Library
The RFID-enabled library is a mobile RFID-enabled application and illustrates the kind of application we target. The application runs on a mobile device, such as a smartphone and shows the books that are in the vicinity of the user and allows certain operations to be performed on them. Users can attach a small review message to a book, rate a book or associate keywords with the book, etc. The application lets the user also filter the books based on rating or comparison with a keyword profile describing the user's preferences. For example, the user could just swipe his smartphone over a shelf of books and discover which books on the shelf are must-read books!
