Abstract
Sensor networks and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) systems are two essential components of pervasive computing. In recent sensor applications, sensor networks and RFID systems usually co-exist and their data are interrelated to each other. In this paper, we propose a novel middleware system—SRE (Sensor Reader Emulator)—that emulates standard reader functionality so as to seamlessly integrate sensor networks into the RFID based EPCglobal Network. In SRE, every sensor nodes is assigned an EPC (Electronic Product Code) and its data is delivered in the form of a standard reader message. RFID applications in higher levels can access the sensor nodes as if they are sensor tags. Therefore applications using sensor networks and RFID systems can be developed more efficiently.
