***IEEE ISSNIP 2013 Workshop on RFID Technology, Applications and Security***
In conjunction with the 8th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing (ISSNIP), April 2-5, 2013, Melbourne, Australia
(http://www.issnip.org/2013/wk-RFID-tech-app-sec.html)

Abstract Submission Deadline: November 15, 2012
Paper Submission Deadline: November 18, 2012

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology enables the non-contact, automatic and unique identification of objects and people using radio waves. As the need for auto identification (auto-ID) systems becomes increasingly common place in many economic sectors, potential RFID applications include homeland security (RFID enabled passports), e-business (RFID enabled credit cards), e-cash (RFID enabled bank notes) and automated supply chain management. It is estimated that the RFID market will be worth around US$26.9 billion worldwide by 2015. However, there are significant research challenges that still need to be addressed before the widespread adoption of RFID systems.
The main purpose of this workshop is to serve as a forum that brings together RFID researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government to discuss recent developments in RFID systems and technology, applications and security. This platform will also serve to identify key research challenges in the design, operation, analysis, practical application and optimization of RFID systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* RFID antenna theory and design, channel measurements and modelling
* RFID software and middleware
* Coding, anti-collision, and medium access schemes
* RFID Localisation techniques and algorithms in RFID tag and reader localization
* RFID Integration with Sensors
* RFID sensor modelling and analysis
* Privacy preserving techniques
* Vulnerability and Cryptanalysis
* Lightweight Cryptography for sensors and RFID
* Security Standards, Frameworks and Protocols
* Security in mobile sensor and RFID systems
* Trust management and related frameworks
* Security policy and management
* Key management techniques
* Specific application contexts with a scientific focus (e.g., healthcare, military, supply chains)

Submission Guidelines: Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers (up to 6 pages in length, A4 page only) electronically through the EDAS system (http://edas.info/13215). Papers must be original material not currently under review by another conference or journal. All submitted papers will be subjected to multiple independent peer reviews. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. All accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Press and will appear in the Conference Proceedings and on IEEE Xplore.
