We invite you to participate in the International Workshop on RFID
Data Management (RFDM'08). This workshop aims to bring together researchers
and practitioners that work on problems related to managing data produced by
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) or other traceability and automated
identification (Auto ID) technologies.

The workshop will serve as a forum for researchers and practitioners to
discuss the state-of-the-art, present their contributions, and set future
directions in the area of RFID and Auto ID data management.

RFDM'08 is co-located with ICDE 2008 and is sponsored by IBM.

You can register for the workshop and obtain hotel information through
the ICDE 2008 website: http://www.icde2008.org/
