There is a need within radio-frequency identification (RFID) and other smart technologies to understand related practical implications. Auto-Identification and Ubiquitous Computing Applications: RFID and Smart Technologies for Information Convergence reports on problems related to the primary use of RFID technologies. This book provides a detailed overview of RFID literature, specifically in using RFID and smart technologies for identification, and draws together several different fields of research across supply chain management, asset tracking, and novel use of RFID for identification.

The concept of pervasive and ubiquitous computing challenges our existing understanding of human-computer interaction, as it suggests a world in which computers become increasingly integrated into our daily lives. Emerging Pervasive and Ubiquitous Aspects of Information Systems: Cross-Disciplinary Advancements reviews pervasive and ubiquitous computing as it informs modern information systems. This publication provides an overview of emerging trends in context-aware computing, pervasive and smart environments, as well as research on applications of pervasive technologies in healthcare organizations, work environments, and educational settings.
