Abstract

Various organizations use the RFID technology for linking, tracking and identifying objects in their operative context. Nevertheless, the RFID components cannot yet be considered as mobile, intelligent and communicating elements of the organization's information infrastructure. They are not always used for accomplishing the linkage between the physical world and the adopted Information Technologies (IT) solutions. Therefore, they are not used for enabling organizations to automatically monitor, decide, and take actions. Heterogeneous networked devices and services installed within the organizations, often work independently instead of collaborating for offering a better quality of the daily activities to the end-user. This paper discusses the adoption of a Smart Ubiquitous Platform (SUP) for monitoring and managing the documents circulation by using the RFID technology. Advantages of the adoption of RFID are discussed too.
