RFID
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is gaining momentum and if I am thinking right it is going to become hot soon. I am sure there would be numerous projects running around this technology. RFID in a nutshell comprises of a sensor based reader that can capture information from a bar-coded product/component and can transmit the information over a radio frequency. There is a reciever that listens to a specific frequency and gets the information transmitted in that frequency. The package also includes networking protocols and suite of low level softwares that can help in making it like an ordinary web request routed to the business services. RFID implemented systems belong to Service Oriented Architecture. The developers need not be bothered about the low level implementations and can focus on the business tier of the system. Look at this article “Get started with RFID Development in Java” in devX for an implementation level detail of this concept.
