Distributed Object-Oriented Programming with RFID Technology
Book Contribution - Book Chapter Conference Contribution
Our everyday environments will soon be pervaded with RFID tags integrated in physical objects. These RFID tags can store a digital representation of the physical object and transmit it wirelessly to pervasive, context-aware applications running on mobile devices. However, communicating with RFID tags is prone to many failures inherent to the technology. This hinders the development of such applications as traditional programming models require the programmer to deal with the RFID hardware characteristics manually.
Our system is built in AmbientTalk, an experimental programming language originally modeled to deal with the frequent disconnections that occur in mobile ad hoc networks. In this paper, we propose extending the ambient-oriented programming paradigm to program RFID applications, by considering RFID tags as intermittently connected mutable proxy objects hosted on mobile distributed computing devices.
