Abstract

This paper presents a step-by-step approach to design "realistic" RFID-enabled application scenarios and services in terms of two decision variables. The first one lies in the aspect of technical feasibility; that is to decide on technical issues (e.g. the location of the RFID readers) and the second one includes a cost-benefit assessment; that is to recognise the extent to which the potential benefits gained from RFID outweigh the value of investment and suggest a cost-effective implementation. To better illustrate the approach, the paper describes work undertaken for the design of the dynamic pricing service, relying on RFID technology in order to monitor a productpsilas expiration date and dynamically adjust its price.
