Welcome from the Technical Program Chair
Welcome to the 17th edition of the IEEE International Conference on RFID.
This year, 17 papers, 3 keynotes, and 23 posters will be presented to an international audience of knowledge leaders hosted participants in Seattle, WA, USA, June 13 th to 15 th 2023. The combination of new ideas and technical results brought by authors, workshop organizers and speakers are a clear indication, once more, of the evolving nature of the RFID technology and its multidisciplinary applications. This year we are happy to report multiple submissions across all tracks with MoCap and Next Gen RFID and ID+ maintaining popularity and Antennas and propagation making a storing come back.
This year we merged a number of existing tracks from previous years and were delighted with the popularity of several new tracks including Digital Spectrum Twinning and AI for RFID and this year the introduction of Ocean IoT. All these new and evolving fields are a testament of the important novel and essential work being conducted by our international research community ensuring RFID technology remains at the frontier of cutting-edge emerging technologies.
The IEEE International Conference on RFID can boast the contribution of over 49 esteemed Technical Program Committee Members directly involved in all the fields characterizing RFID technology. We extend our most sincere gratitude to all of them. Their hidden and under appreciated effort behind the scenes is an essential component of this event. Every submitted paper has been reviewed by three members of the Technical Program Committee which is an essential element towards ensuring the high technical standards of the event are maintained. This rigorous review process also provides invaluable feedback to the authors upon which to enrich and improve their research and inform future ideas, expanding the RFID knowledge base across our international community.
The table below lists the total submissions in each track over a ten year period.
