An RFID Middleware Business Process Integration Framework Based on EPC Modeling and Complex Event Processing

Integrating RFID to enterprise business process is now becoming an important aspect in RFID research field. The conventional business process integrating method can hardly meet the need of RFID business applications. In this paper, we introduce an RFID middleware business process integration framework based on EPC modeling and complex event processing. This framework allows users to rapidly model the RFID business process and integrate with the RFID event submitted by the RFID middleware infrastructure. We use EPC modeling and complex event processing to make RFID event-driven business process model more reasonable and to reduce the complexity and difficulty of enterprise application development. This paper explains the architecture and every component of this framework in detail, and finally gives some scenarios of using this framework to integrate RFID business.
