ABSTRACT
Middleware, also known as RFID manager software, enables the rapid development and deployment of RFID systems. The middleware absorbs differences in various RFID tags from multiple suppliers and integrates that data, making it possible to build exible and scalable RFID solutions. Because web services make it easier for business partners to electronically share real-time data and conduct transactions, the marriage of RFID and web services promises to be a productive union. In this work, we list some basic concepts of web services and middleware, comparing web services and EDI technology, return on investment (ROI) of implementing web services and how to measure the ROI, and list some of the recent development in the world of web services that are crucial and attempt to show incorporating them in RFID-centric networks.
