Abstract
The concept of a “Networked Physical World” originated from the Auto-ID Center, now called the Auto-ID Labs. Such a system can be realized with a combination of automatic identification technology and a ubiquitous computer network that will glue the physical world together. The ability to form a ubiquitous item identification network has a wide range of applications including manufacturing automation and supply chain management. We describe the building block system components of a distributed ubiquitous item identification network aimed at creating a “Networked Physical World” system and explore the data flows within the system.
