News forms of interaction should be considered if we want to model intelligent environments. NFC stands for Near Field Communication. NFC is a relatively new wireless technology and is gaining popularity. Its short range is the reason for its success. Operating over only short distance gives a large degree of security. The concept of NFC near field communication is that the technology is able to provide a very easy method of providing connectivity between devices that are a few centimeters apart, and without the need for all the security and set-up procedures that are needed for many other communication technologies. Thus applications using NFC will be really intuitive to use. Mobile devices have started integrating NFC capabilities into them. Nokia 6131 was the first handset to be introduced which included NFC capability. Now with increasing popularity of NFC, Android included its support for NFC with its 2.3.3 version. The major focus of this paper is developing android application(HAKI) based on NFC such as Smart posters, Attendance monitoring and helping visually impaired which targets wide range of audiences.

The adoption of solutions based on Radio Frequency IDentification technology in a wide range of contexts is a matter of fact. In many situations, such as the tracking of small-size living animals, the straightforward use of commercial systems does not ensure adequate performance. Consequently, both the RFID hardware and the software control platform should be tailored for the particular application. In this work, the specific requirements of Near Field Ultra High Frequency RFID reader antennas suitable for small-size animal localization and tracking are identified and a control system in a LabVIEW environment is designed. Afterwards, both hardware and software solutions have been implemented and validated. In particular, an algorithm based on the measured Received Signal Strength Indication, in order to obtain precise localization data, was developed and validated. Finally, the set-up of a first working prototype involving built-in-lab reader antennas has been completed and tested. The achieved results prove the effectiveness of the proposed tracking system.

Fare Evasion

Virginia Railway Express (VRE) is at a crossroads at a key time with its current technology. In the near future, VRE will be required to replace its existing Automated Fare Collection (AFC) system. While this may not initially sound so different from what all rail agencies must eventually go through, ensuring that the system can be integrated into its neighboring Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s (WMATA) impending New Electronic Payments Program (NEPP) is a completely different story, and for many reasons. VRE is a key regional partner of WMATA and, as such, the two work hand-in-hand to ensure the interoperability between the two systems is maximized for the passengers who ride both services. Key to this is NEPP as an eventual replacement of WMATA’s SmarTrip® program. Since the majority of VRE’s ridership is Federal employees who carry PIV (Personal Identity Verification)/CAC (Common Access Card) cards and are making their way into the nation’s capital from Virginia and Maryland, the SmarTrip® program has been a major focus for VRE. While the NEPP program has several years before it goes live, it presents VRE with a valuable opportunity to review its current AFC system and use the interim to implement various concepts of operations for a future system. As such, VRE has become a willing partner for WMATA as a host for technology proof-of-concepts that will aid both VRE and WMATA in the long term. VRE is looking into hosting various technology options to pilot at key stations that may include mobile ticketing, Near Field Communication (NFC), or PIV/CAC cards as forms of payment, as well as proof of payment. As an open-gated system, VRE must tackle the problem of fare evasion, so looking to maximize its proof-of-payment capabilities with the latest technology is key. VRE would like to share with the rail community its thoughts and ideas for proof-of-concepts to utilize the latest payment technologies, as well as discuss its plans on interoperability with WMATA to assist agencies with similar challenges.

Blood is undeniably essential to save lives. The high demand for blood cannot compete with the amount collected through blood donation. In order to cater to the issue, researchers tend to focus more on the donors’ side. Meanwhile, the other party which is the blood bank continues to play its role to increase the blood supply. The blood bank processes blood in four stages: donation, screening, inventory and hospital pickup. This paper aims to address the challenges and issues in the local blood bank through ubiquitous computing, specifically at the blood donation stage. Blood donation is the most critical stage where the blood bank engages directly with the donors. The issues and challenges faced by the blood bank are uncovered by, interviews, field study and literature reviews. The proposed solution takes advantage of the ubiquitous computing concept that enables devices to communicate with each other seamlessly. With the advancement of mobile technology, smartphones become the closest of any devices to achieve ubiquitous computing. Communication technologies like Near Field Communication and Wi-Fi aid the interaction between the user and the system which are expected to solve the challenges and issues of blood donation.

The integration of Near Field Communication (NFC) into mobile devices has recently emerged as a disruptive innovation and a strong enabler of a wide range of new mobile applications and services. Yet, despite this great potential, the widespread adoption of mobile NFC services remains restrained. This chapter investigates the success factors that are contributing towards the proliferation of mobile NFC services. It also presents an in-depth analysis of the key hurdles standing in the way of full NFC commercialization, with the caveat that disagreement about the proper business model among the key ecosystem players is currently the major adoption restraint. The chapter articulates the vision of a cooperative model that can enable the sharing of services, infrastructure, cost, and revenues among various NFC ecosystem players. The author also adopts a four-tier classification approach to categorize NFC business models into a number of typologies. Some recommendations for future research are also provided.

Mapping Information

NFC is applying in various field of contemporary technology. Especially of convenience tag usability in any place. One of the facilities which can be added in the tracking system is the implementation of Near Field Communication in order to guide each tourist in the deep forest or any other location. In the deep forest, tracking or location detection activities need to be done efficiently, like desired path finding in a deep forest. At present, the tracking procedure in deep forest is working with the help of guides or local citizens. Currently, in any restricted area such as the “Sundarban” forest, no outside general people are allowed to travel in the jungle without any authorized guide which is not an efficient way to travel smoothly. The use of Near Field Communication can solve the problem related to lost the way, safety, and easily help the travelers to track the desired destination without the help of human resources or any guide. The NFC tags that hold mapping information of the area, in the point of tag setup all tags will be set up on several trees along with sequence.

Multicultural Policies

Historically, those societies that have the longest tradition in multicultural policies are settler societies. The question of how to deal with temporary migrants has only recently aroused their interest. In Europe, temporary migration programmes have a much longer history. In the period after WWII, a wide range of legal frameworks were set up to import temporary workers, who came to be known as guest workers. In the end, many of these ‘guests’ settled in Europe permanently. Their presence lay at the basis of European multicultural policies. However, when these policies were drafted, the former mobility of guest workers had been forgotten. This chapter will focus on this mobility of initially temporary workers, comparing the period of economic growth 1945-1974 with the years after the 1974 economic crisis. Further, it will look at the kind of policies that were developed towards guest workers in the era before multiculturalism. This way, it shows how their consideration as temporary residents had far-reaching consequences for the immigrants, their descendants and the receiving societies involved. The chapter will finish by suggesting a number of lessons from the past. If the mobility-gap between guest workers and present-day migrants is not as big as generally assumed, then the consequences of previous neglect should serve as a warning for future policy making.

Knowledge presented by Oral History (OH) is unique in that it shares the tacit perspective, thoughts, opinions and understanding of the interviewee in its primary form. While teachers, lecturers and other education specialists have at their disposal a wide range of primary, secondary and tertiary sources upon which to relate and share or impart knowledge, OH presents a rich source of information that can improve the learning and knowledge impartation experience. The uniqueness of OH is presented in the following advantages of its use: it allows one to learn about the perspectives of individuals who might not otherwise appear in the historical record; it allows one to compensate for the digital age; one can learn different kinds of information; it provides historical actors with an opportunity to tell their own stories in their own words; and it offers a rich opportunity for human interaction. This article discusses the placement of oral history in the classroom set-up by investigating its use as a source of learning material presented by the National Archives of Zimbabwe to students in the Department of Records and Archives Management at the National University of Science and Technology (NUST). Interviews and a group discussion were used to gather data from an archivist at the National Archives of Zimbabwe, lecturers and students in the Department of Records and Archives Management at NUST, respectively. These groups were approached on the usability, uniqueness and other characteristics that support this type of knowledge about OH in a tertiary learning experience. The findings indicate several qualities that reflect the richness of OH as a teaching source material in a classroom set-up. It further points to weak areas that may be addressed where the source is considered a viable strategy for knowledge sharing and learning. The researchers present a possible model that can be used to champion the use of this rich knowledge source in classroom education at this university and in similar set-ups.
