A Framework for Interacting Smart Objects

In this paper, we propose a framework enabling physical objects used everyday to participate in smart interactions. These objects are RFID tagged containing self description of their properties. The paper describes how smart context aware services can be supported directly by a collection of smart objects. One of the main advantage of our approach is the smart objects being piggybacked with necessary information, optimized enough to make inferences locally, without dependence on external system support.
