Workshop Program

The Workshop was a one day event featuring case studies and research contributions that provided insight into issues related to real-world pervasive computing. It took place on March 19, 2007 at the IEEE PerCom 2007 conference in New York, USA.

The goal of this workshop was to bring together application concepts, lessons learned from real-world deployments and latest research findings to exchange and discuss the potentials and practical hurdles of RFID and NFC technology.

Practitioners were asked to report on projects they completed (or are about to complete), the practical challenges they faced and the ways in which they succeeded to meet them.
