Group: RFID deployment

This group brings together research publications that are pertinent to the landscape-wide deployment of rfid technology in logistic and service systems. Focus is on: (i) computation independent models for business operations and business intelligence; (ii) the articulation of reusable landscape models (e.g., incorporating regulations) and industry models (sector models, incorporating industry reference models); (iii) techniques and tools for refining and configuring the computation independent models to meet company-specific logistics and service requirements. Recommended tags: (A) LEVEL: Macro/Meso/Micro/Pico (from Multi-level perspective (see Geels & Schot, 2007) extended: macro (landscape); meso (industry/regime/sector); micro (firm, organization); pico (person, product/resource individual). (B) Activity Realm: Diagnostic (paper is concerned with Why?: what problem, opportunity or directive justifies the rfid deployment? ) ; Therapeutic (How must rfid be deployed in the socio-technical system of interest, i.e. the firm, the industry, the plant?) (C) Industry: use one of the industry (sector) names listed by the World Economic Forum on http://www.weforum.org/en/knowledge/Industries/index.htm (D) Models: Textual, ValueRisk, OperationsModel, RequirementsModel
