revolution: Are we close? When it comes
to radio frequency identification technology the conventional wisdom
is that it will certainly revolutionize the way manufacturers
distributors and retailers track products and inventory. But
figuring out details of how this emerging technology should progress
and get used remains a source of debate. The issues range from
safeguarding data the tiny chips transmit to managing the reams of
data RFID readers gather. ZDNet E-Commerce, Mar 3,

RFID Within the next few years tracking
technologies RFID and biometrics will become commonplace within the
transport sector. Security and efficiency will be the motivation
behind a new wave of technology that will alter the way the
transportation industry operates according to consultant and

working on prototype applications that will allow primarily fleets
of lorries and their loads to be securely tracked protecting them
against attacks from terrorists and thieves as well as improving
efficiency. Vnunet, Mar 3, 2004

In subsequent years thousands more will face the same requirement.
And Wal-Mart's requirement will push RFID into the mainstream of the
supply chain simply because suppliers won't maintain the RFID system
for Wal-Mart and another system for other customers. Even if
Wal-Mart weren't driving adoption of RFID it would happen anyway
albeit more slowly. Java Pro Magazine, Mar 4,
