Call for Papers: RFID: towards Ubiquitous Computing& the Web of Things
The Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research is planning a special issue on RFID: towards Ubiquitous Computing& the web of Things.
Guest editors; Ygal Bendavid, Samuel Fosso Wamba, and Joseph Barjis
Continuous improvements in technological performance, combined with maturing applications and decreasing prices have contributed to the pervasive adoption of Automated Identification Technology such as bar codes and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. Following its incubation period, today RFID technology adoption can be seen in various domains making its diffusion global and cross industries and national borders. Over the last 10 years, RFID application is witnessing a significant growth in almost each sector. RFID Item-Level Tagging (ILT) initiatives are extensively deployed in sectors such as apparel and footwear - with companies such as Gerry Weber International, American Apparel, Macy, JC Penney, and Wal-Mart leading the movement.
Adoption of RFID is closely related to various concepts such as Ubiquitous computing (Ubi-comp), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Web of Things (WoT) or the Web of Things and People (WoTaP), where a tagged object can communicate electronically, in real time, with its environment through the global infrastructure of wireless Internet. As sensors and intelligence are added to physical objects, this opens the way to innovative electronic commerce business models and transformation of modern enterprises and their relationship with their constituencies.
Effective application and adoption of these new models and technologies pose a host of research questions requiring scientific intervention.
This special issue of JTAER aims to gather new theoretical and/or qualitative-empirical results addressing some of these research questions. While contributions in the domain of e-commerce/e-business are welcome, technical aspects of RFID (e.g., RFID circuit or antennas designs, modulation schemes for RFID, RFID electromagnetic field measurements) are not within the scope.
