PRECONFERENCE SEMINARRFID Academic Convocation |
RFID Journal LIVE! 2007 features eight preconference seminars providing in-depth information on specific aspects of RFID. Attendees can choose to participate in one of these prior to the opening of the main conference program. Preconference seminars are available through the Conference + Preconference Pass or the Preconference Seminar + Exhibit-Only Pass.
The convocation is hosted by the Auto-ID Labs at MIT and is led by a conference committee consisting of RFID research directors responsible for the academic integrity of the RFID Academic Convocation proceeding separate from RFID Journal LIVE!. It is a unique opportunity to learn what research is happening around the world, and to participate in the process of road-mapping future research projects.
The organizers welcome submissions from researchers. Please send papers to: rfidconvocation@mit.edu.
Objectives:
|
 |
Identify specific industry issues requiring a coordinated research response |
| |
|
Define the underlying core technology research areas required to address these issues |
| |
|
Continue the technology road-mapping process |
