CALL FOR PAPERS

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an exciting multidisciplinary field with numerous applications. The 2014 IEEE International Conference on RFID is the premier conference for exchanging all technical research in RFID. The conference attendance boasts an outstanding mix of practitioners and researchers from industry and academia. IEEE RFID 2014 is an opportunity to share, discuss, and witness research results in all areas of RFID technologies and their applications.

The 2014 IEEE International Conference on RFID is seeking original, high-impact research papers on RFID-related topics. Papers will be selected based on originality, importance of the problem, technical merit, clarity, and the potential impact of the results. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE RFID 2014 conference proceedings and submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore®. Accepted papers will also be submitted for indexing through EI Compendex, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Knowledge, Thomson ISI, and IET Inspec.

TOPICS

• Antennas & Propagation: Antenna theory and designs, channel measurements and modeling

• Applications & Software: RFID software, middleware, network applications, reports on the introduction and operational experience of RFID applications (scientific focus!)

• Circuits, Devices & Interrogators: Circuit designs, non-silicon and chipless RFID, interrogator architecture, multi-interrogator coordination and interference reduction

• Next Generation PHY: MIMO and diversity techniques, ultra-wideband backscattering, hybrid ultra-wideband RFID tags and interrogators

• Localization: Performance bounds, novel system approaches, technologies, and algorithms in RFID tag and reader localization

• Power Harvesting: Ambient RF harvesting, power-optimized waveforms, RFID tags using kinetic, thermal, or optical power-harvesting

• Protocols & Security: Coding, anti-collision, cryptography and privacyenhancing techniques, medium access schemes

• RFID in BioMed: Implantable sensors tags, performance analyses near/in biological fluids and tissues, antenna/system design for biomedical applications
