Abstract

With recent developments in Web technologies enabling interaction in virtual environments, as well as the ones in sensor network technologies enabling interaction with the real world, we see an emerging trend towards bringing these two worlds together. In this chapter, we share our experiences in building an RFID-supported library system on Second Life called SmartRFLib, which successfully achieves this integration. Although SmartRFLib focuses on a library system as an application scenario, it has been designed as a general-purpose RFID data management and complex event detection system, and can also be used as a basis to build other RFID-based event monitoring applications.
