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.
