An integrated software platform for RFID-enabled application development

RFID-enabled application is identified as a new breed of application that is capable of taking full advantage of RFID data collected in real-time fashion. There are some common capability exists among RFID-enabled applications. A basic architecture of an integrated software platform is described. It is a good practice to use an integrated software platform with support of these common capabilities to simplify the development effort and reduce the development cost. The combined benefit may accelerate the adoption of RFID in its emerging stage currently.
