IEEE RFID 2012

Join us for another IEEE technical conference on RFID co-located with RFID Journal LIVE! 2012. The conference is sponsored by the IEEE Technical Committee on RFID (CRFID) whose purpose is to provide a focus for the RFID technology across the technical spectrum of IEEE.

The 2012 IEEE International Conference on RFID is the premier conference for exchanging all technical RFID-related research. The conference attendance boasts an outstanding mix of practitioners and researchers within industry and academia and spans numerous disciplines. IEEE RFID 2012 is an opportunity to share timely research results in all areas of RFID technologies and their applications.

The conference is seeking original, high-impact research papers on important RFID-related topics. Papers will be selected based on clarity, originality, importance of the problem, technical merit, and the potential impact of the results. All papers will be rigorously reviewed through a double-blind review process by multiple active researchers in the field.

Invited Talks

Ramin Sadr, CEO, Mojix
“Passive RFID: Present and Future Directions”

Physicist John Wheeler once said “At the heart of everything is a question, not an answer. When we peer down into the deepest recesses of matter or at the farthest edge of the universe, we see, finally, our own puzzled faces looking back at us.” As academia and industry continue to make advances in passive RFID technology, we find answers but uncover more questions. This session will present some recent results on a number of passive RFID topics. The speaker will also raise additional questions to inspire and catalyze expert researchers and engineers to think about the challenges the industry is facing today. Topics will include soft-input soft-output decoding techniques, passive RFID channel characteristics and location tracking for passive RFID tags. The discussion will explore market needs and requirements and future trends for passive RFID.

Poster and Demo Session

The IEEE RFID 2012 poster session provides researchers with opportunities to present their cutting-edge work in an interactive manner in front of an expert audience of academic and industry scientists and engineers from around the world. Posters can cover preliminary or exploratory work within RFID research, report smaller projects or results not mature enough for a full paper, or present any other research that would excite discussion and benefit from this open forum. More detailed information is available on the conference website – www.ieee-rfid.org/2012.

IEEE RFID 2012 Student Competition: Rectenna Shootout!

Student teams of any size may submit a design for a custom 915 MHz LED rectenna (antenna + RF charge pump + LED) for the IEEE RFID 2012 conference. Cash prize for the device that can light up an LED from the furthest distance from a 915 MHz continuous wave source.

For further information, email Greg Durgin at durgin@gatech.edu.

Other Topics:
If your topic does not fit one of the above groups or if you are unsure which topic to select, please contact the TPC Chair at TPChair@ieee-rfid.org.

Submission Instructions
Paper submissions must be anonymous, meaning all author and institutional affiliation must be removed from the submitted paper to support a double-blind review process. All submitted papers must follow the IEEE conference style guide and be no more than 8 pages in length. Please refer to the conference website for full submission instructions.

Submission Schedule

Paper submissions due: ~~December 4, 2011~~, ~~December 11, 2011~~
Notifications of acceptance sent: January 27, 2012
Publication-ready versions uploaded: February 24, 2012

PLEASE NOTE
To be published in the IEEE RFID 2012 Conference Proceedings and IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate, and must present the paper at the conference. Registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for a single paper only. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE conference proceedings and in IEEE Xplore®.
