Summary 

 

The target of this study is to provide a multifocal perspective on the workings of radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies, integrating technical, social and legal perspectives. As this deliverable is part of the work package on profiling, it regards RFID as an enabling technology for Ambient Intelligence, the ‘Internet of Things’ or the age of ‘everyware’. Ambient Intelligence (AmI) implies a real time adaptive environment in which most adaptive decisions are taken by machines in a process of machine to machine communication. These decisions are based on what is called autonomic profiling, severely restricting human intervention, while being in need of a continuous and dynamic flow of information. This raises many of issues that need to be anticipated and dealt with. This deliverable will provide a descriptive analysis to prepare the way for more fundamental research into the possibilities to integrate legal and technological solutions and more specific research into the development of a holistic privacy framework for RFID technologies. Both are taken on in the third work plan of the FIDIS NoE.
