Abstract
Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is believed to be the next revolutionary step in supply-chain management.
Complex process simplification using RFID technology can offer particularly important benefits to many enterprises. To derive
real benefit from RFID, the application must rapidly implement functions to process the large quantity of event data generated
by RFID operations. For this reason, developers are forced to implement systems to derive meaningful high-level events from
simple RFID events. Although applications could directly consume and act on RFID event, extracting the business rules from
the business logic leads to better decoupling of the system, which consequentially, increases maintainability. In this paper,
we describe an RFID business aware framework for extending RFID events using business rules, and then processing these to
show complex events.
