Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tagging is now mandated by
the department of defense and many of the world's largest retailers
including Wal-Mart. In order to stay competitive, more than 200,000
manufacturers and suppliers must develop strategies for integrating
RFID technologies into their supply chains. RFID in Logistics: A
Practical Introduction provides businesses and other relevant
concerns with an authoritative step-by-step guide to the
implementation and diverse applications of this revolutionary
communications technology. Survey RFID applications in
entertainment, credit devices, wireless communications, healthcare,
and libraries Learn about both active and passive system components
testing models Examine best practices for integrating RFID
technology into the supply chain Combining techniques from
computer, electrical, and industrial engineering, RFID in
Logistics: A Practical Introduction supplies the basic instruction
needed to develop and implement RFID technology.
The use of simulation modeling and analysis is becoming
increasingly more popular as a technique for improving or
investigating process performance. This book is a practical,
easy-to-follow reference that offers up-to-date information and
step-by-step procedures for conducting simulation studies. It
provides sample simulation project support material, including
checklists, data-collection forms, and sample simulation project
reports and publications to facilitate practitioners' efforts in
conducting simulation modeling and analysis projects. Simulation
Modeling Handbook: A Practical Approach has two major advantages
over other treatments. First, it is independent of any particular
simulation software, allowing readers to use any commercial package
or programming language. Second, it was written to insulate
practitioners from unnecessary simulation theory that does not
focus on their average, practical needs. As the popularity of
simulation studies continues to grow, the planning and execution of
these projects, more and more engineering and management
professionals will be called upon to perform these tasks. With its
simple, no-nonsense approach and focus on application rather than
theory, this comprehensive and easy-to-understand guide is the
ideal vehicle for acquiring the background and skills needed to
undertake effective simulation projects. Features Presents
step-by-step procedures for conducting successful simulation
modeling and analysis Addresses every phase of performing
simulations, from formulating the problem to presenting study
results and recommendations Uses approaches applicable regardless
of the specific simulation or software used Includes a summary of
the major simulation software packages and discusses the pros and
cons of using general purpose programming languages

The Computer Science and Engineering Handbook characterizes the current state of theory and practice in the field. In this single volume you can find quick answers to the questions that affect your work every day. More than 110 chapters describe fundamental principles, "best practices," research horizons, and their impact upon the professions and society. Glossaries of key terms, references, and sources for further information, including key Web sites, provide you with the most complete information on every topic.
As RFID technology is becoming increasingly popular, the need has
arisen to address the challenges and approaches to successful
implementation. RFID and Auto-ID in Planning and Logistics: A
Practical Guide for Military UID Applications presents the concepts
for students, military personnel and contractors, and corporate
managers to learn about RFID and other automatic information
capture technologies, and their integration into planning and
logistics functions. The text includes comparisons of RFID with
technologies such as bar codes, satellite tags, and global
positioning systems and provides a decision model for choosing the
appropriate technology for a given application. By providing the
histories, current use, and future applications of RFID and
automatic identification technologies (AIT), the book discusses
supply chain planning and logistics uses for these technologies. It
addresses the fundamental relationships in RFID, including how
antennae, integrated circuitry, and substrate work together. The
text provides detailed information for troubleshooting design
issues and an understanding of passive, semi-passive, and active
tags, so an informed choice of technology type can be made. It
describes the unique identification (UID) standards necessary for
military contractors and how to use RFID and AIT to meet those
requirements. This book is unique in the depth of material
presented, making it appropriate for engineers, students, and
operational personnel as a resource for foundational concepts for
integrating logistics and RFID. A comprehensive reference, this
volume can is an academic text, a practitioner's handbook, and a
military contractor's UID guide for using RFID and AIT
technologies.
