ALE-complient RFID middleware system receives EPC code data from reader devices and converts the data into URN format data internally. After filtering and grouping, the system sends the resulting URN code to application and(or) users. Meanwhile, not only the types of EPC code are very diverse, but also another new kinds of EPC code can be emerged in the future. Therefore, a method to process all kinds of EPC code effectively is required by RFID middleware. In this paper, a method to process various kinds of EPC code acquired from RFID reader devices in ALE-complient RFID middleware is proposed. Especially, we propose an approach using ontology technology to process not only existing EPC code but also newly defined code in the future. That is, we build an ontology of conversion rules for each EPC data type to effectively convert EPC data into URL format data. In this case, we can easily extend RFID middleware to process a new EPC code data by adding a conversion rule ontology for the code.

RFID is rising as a means which recognizes products efficiently and correctly. The use of RFID technology can reduce the expense of excess stocktaking, forgery, labor and improve supply network. RFID technology uses RF to recognize the products. EPC, a small tag, is attached to each product, which includes specific product information. Each EPC is only one and can recognize each product. If EPC tag moves to a specific location, the reader reads the tag, the data of which get to be stored in EPC information service, a data storage system. All services can approach EPC information service through web and whenever users demand services, they are provided with the data they want. This study shows an inventory control system is implemented by EPC information service.

Promoting policy to involve plant EPC companies for package deal has been studied to acquire overseas energy resources. The effectiveness of the package deal with the plant EPC companies has not been successful because the participation of the plant EPC companies is very rare. It is difficult for the plant EPC companies to join the package deal due to the lack of the fully responsible organization to support the plant EPC companies participating in a package deal. The followings are suggested as the ways to promote the participation of the plant EPC companies for package deal in this study; 1) financial support of the government for plant EPC companies 2) political support of the government for plant EPC companies 3) specialization of the advanced countries for public-private cooperation.

These days RFID application has been developed rapidly. It has been applied to many business areas such as logistics and supply chains. The Electronic Product Code (EPC) Network Architecture, an open global standard, is proposed by EPCglobal for developing RFID enabled systems. People who want to obtain the product information which are master information and event information have to apply with EPC Network Architecture. However, EPCIS which has master information and event information has to be accessed base on each EPC. Therefore, there is lots of duplicate accessing to EPCIS because RFID application has to access the same EPCIS over again which makes all performance down in EPC Network. This paper proposes how to reduce access times to EPCIS using EPC grouping based on EPCIS address. We build EPC Network environment to experiment about performance of RFID application system and we prove the improvement of EPC Network. Our result shows the reducing the EPCIS communication time by maximum 99 percentages.

EPC seeks to minimize variability by transferring the output variable to a related process input(controllable) variable, while SPC seeks to reduce variability by detecting and eliminating assignable causes of variation. In the case of product control, a very reasonable objective is to try to minimize the variance of the output deviations from the target or set point. We compare three control systems; EPC, combined system with EWMA and EPC, and SPC. This paper shows through simulation that the performance of the integrated model of EPC and SPC is more preferable than that of EPC.

EPC Network는 EPC 관련 정보를 수집, 처리, 저장, 제공하는 Network를 말하며 EPC Network에서의 정보 접근 제어는 다양한 접근 방법, 다양한 플랫폼을 사용하는 사용자의 접근 및 분산 환경이라는 상황을 고려해야만 한다. 본 논문에서는 온톨로지를 이용한 간단하면서도 효율적인 정보 접근 제어 기법을 제시하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 정보 접근 제어 기법을 간략하게 설명하자면 EPC Network를 구성하는 요소 중 하나인 EPC IS로 전송되는 SOAP 전송 메시지 내부에 정보 접근 제어를 위해 필요한 정보들을 온톨로지를 이용하여 기술한다. EPC IS는 온톨로지를 이용하여 기술된 SOAP 전송 메시지 내부에 포함된 정보 접근 제어와 관련된 정보를 정보 접근 제어 처리에 사용한다. 온톨로지를 이용함으로써 사용자와 EPC IS 간의 개념 및 용어의 일관성을 유지할 수 있으며, 추론 기능을 이용하여 정보 접근 제어에 있어서의 요구 사항들을 쉽게 처리할 수 있다.

EPC seeks to minimize variability by transferring the output variable to a related process input(controllable) variable, while SPC seeks to reduce variability by detecting and eliminating assignable causes of variation. In the case of product control, a very reasonable objective is to try to minimize the variance of the output deviations from the target or set point. We consider an alternative EPC model with second-order autoregressive disturbance. We compare three control systems; EPC, EPC combined with EWMA. This paper shows through simulation that tlhe performance of the integrated model of EPC and EWMA is more preferable than that of EPC.

'Sabine Pass Liquefaction Project (SPL Project)', a case study in this report, is the first construction project of a U.S. liquefaction facility for shale gas export overseas. This study analyzes the SPL Project to give understanding and a guideline to Korean EPC companies by benchmarking about effective risk-sharing strategies on EPC contracts. This study consists of three parts. The first summarizes the liquefaction process adopted on the SPL Project, named the 'ConocoPhillips Optimized Cascade Process', and compares it with other competitive liquefaction processes. The second introduces the unique features of the SPL EPC contract by comparing it with two other EPC forms of contracts: a FIDIC Silver Book for onshore plant projects and a contract of an offshore oil production (FPSO) project. The third focuses on the complexity of project financing (PF), especially lenders control and impact on the EPC contract such as covenant provisions to constrain variations and changes on the EPC Contract. From these conclusions, it is anticipated that this case study can provide a guideline for successful performance of Korean EPC contractors overseas.

EPCglobal Network is based on the Electronic Product Code(EPC) and rapidly opening up to many enterprises that have close relationships with each other. Since a huge amount of logistics Information is distributed in the EPCglobal Network, it needs to manage them effectively. Global logistics companies and institutes are studying and setting up the standards about EPC Information Service(EPCIS), Object Name Service (ONS) and EPC Discovery Service(EPCDS) in the RFID and EPC-based logistics information network. In this paper, we propose expanded EPCIS and EPCDS that are satisfy EPCglobal standards and enable more effective logistics information management.

The development of RFID system is increasing rapidly by applying to variety fields recently. Especially, RFID system is used to the focus technology of the supply chain management in distribution field of the supplier. In distribution field, We have to grasp products quickly and correctly, but this has a problem to make an inventory of products in real-time because of products transfer. In this paper, to solve this problems. We grasp the state of inventory in real-time by using EPC-IS network becoming the organizational standard of RFID network. also, We offer an authentation of product service to grasp counterfeits and stolen goods in real-time. Therefore, in this paper, We show to be able to process an authentation of product service and inventory of products in distribution field in real-time.
