An improved event processing approach for RFID stream data and its application

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has been widely used in various fields. How to deal with and make use of the data to serve for enterprises is a great challenge we are facing, and RFID event processing technology can help us solve the problem. In this paper, we will do an in-depth investigation on RFID event processing technology and test its performance in the application of SCM (Supply Chain Management). To the RFID simple event, an improved RETE algorithm will be proposed; to the complex event, a novel Petri Net approach will be adopted. The experiment is carried out in the scene of Beer Game, which demonstrates that RFID event processing technology can mitigate the effects of the Bullwhip in supply chain.
