Abstract

Adoption of RFID has become widespread including logistics, drug supply-chain, and healthcare. To adopt RFID, we need to evaluate performance and feasibility of RFID S/W such as EPC Information Service (EPCIS), which demands a variety of test datasets of RFID business events. This paper proposes a novel method for creating RFID business events dataset by means of the simulation of RFID infrastructure. Proposed model provides a flexible representation capability since this is based on well-known petri-net. In addition, it can also be useful when determining adoption of RFID as it supports simulation of RFID environment.

물류, 의약품, 병원 등 다양한 환경에서 RFID의 도입이 확산되고 있다. RFID의 도입을 위해서는 EPC정보서비스(EPCIS)등과 같은 핵심 RFID S/W의 성능 및 적합성 평가가 선행되어야 하며, 이때 다양한 종류의 비즈니스 이벤트 데이터셋이 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 RFID 응용환경을 시뮬레이션하는 접근방법을 통해 보다 실제와 유사한 RFID 비즈니스 이벤트 데이터셋을 생성하기 위한 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 모델은 페트리넷을 기반으로 하여 다양한 RFID 환경에 대한 유연한 표현이 가능한 특징이 있다. 또한, 실제 RFID 환경의 시뮬레이션이 가능함에 따라 RFID 도입여부 검토에서도 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.
