1. CS 395 Internship in Computing Presentation RFID Complete By Konstantin G. Khavanskii

2. What is RFID? Radio Frequency Identification –“The smart way to manage your inventory” –Basic principle: using RFID tags and RFID readers Passive tags – can be scanned and read data off of Active tags – communicate to the wireless transceiver Symbol –Organization overview: origin in Canada –Vendor for local RFID specialists

3. RFIDComplete The Smart Inventory Management (SIM) program RFID Applications: –Asset management Military Medicine Construction –People tracking? Definite possibility

4. Symbol Portals

5. Global Positioning A relatively large room with enough open space X wireless routers, Y wireless tags Ekahau:

6. Integration One of the key problems of working with specialized software: its integration with everything else “take something new, make it work with what we know” First intentions for my project: Work on translating output data from Ekahau and put it into a database format. Discovered that Ekahau already took care of that.

7. Training SQL Server 2005 Express ASP.NET 2.0 Visual C# SQL Reporting Services Missions: acquire skills and learn the systems trial and error method to migrate from 2003 to 2005.

8. Database Web Front Project

9. Phase 1

10. Phase 2 Triggers: allow to initiate events hidden from the user -insert -update -delete

11. Phase 2 Stored procedures: no limitation on functionality

12. Phase 3 “Permission denied” problem A web form developed in C# under Visual Studio 2003 did not display in browsers when trying to access a database source made in SQL Express 2005 Attempts to troubleshoot: - reinstalling ASP 1.1, 2.0, and SQL - switching from SQL Express to SQL 2005 - programming the form in VS Web Developer 2005

13. Phase 3 Answer: back in 2000 version of SQL, upon installing ASP.NET, SQL created a user account for ASPNET automatically. In later versions, it does not.

14. SQL Reporting Services SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio -an extension to MS Visual Studio 2005

15. Results and outcomes Familiarized myself with work environment Acquired starting skills with software packages Demonstrated my ability to learn quickly Demonstrated task flexibility Developed an interface template for an upcoming project Outcome: Invited to work for another semester
