Distributed Object-Oriented Programming with RFID Technology

Our everyday environments will soon be pervaded with RFID tags integrated in physical objects. These RFID tags can store a digital representation of the physical object and transmit it wirelessly to pervasive, context-aware applications running on mobile devices. However, communicating with RFID tags is prone to many failures inherent to the technology. This hinders the development of such applications as traditional programming models require the programmer to deal with the RFID hardware characteristics manually. In this paper, we propose extending the ambient-oriented programming paradigm to program RFID applications, by considering RFID tags as intermittently connected mutable proxy objects hosted on mobile distributed computing devices. Key words: RFID, pervasive computing, ambient-oriented programming, mobile RFID-enabled applications
