Abstract

The concept of a "Networked Physical World" originated from the Auto-ID Center, now called the Auto-ID Labs. Such a system can be realized with a combination of automatic identification technology and a ubiquitous computer network that will glue the physical world together. The ability to form a ubiquitous network of physical objects has a wide range of applications including manufacturing automation, supply chain management and collection of sensor derived data We describe the building block system components of a distributed ubiquitous RFID network aimed at enabling ubiquitous sensing with RFID and explore the data flows within the system.
