Lightweight-ALE-Based Embedded RFID Middleware

The integration of RFID technology and mobile smart device stimulates the daily increasingly popularity of mobile RFID-based applications, which makes its way to become a new hot zone of research and development. However, the diversities of the hardware and software as well as the resource constraints on devices are the first problems developer needs to resolve. One of the most highly effective solutions is the middleware technology. This paper presents a design and implementation of lightweight-ALE-based embedded RFID middleware, which provides a unified interface, event processing mechanism and other mechanisms. Featured with reconfigurable, scalable and transplantable capability, the middleware can provide a unified platform for applications and make the development much more convenient.
