Thesis (M. Eng. in Logistics)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, 2005. / Two leaves of folded plates inserted in pocket on p. [3] of cover. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 51-52). / Inter-enterprise communication of RFID event data requires rules and consistency. To create those rules and consistency one has to understand the requirements for the event architecture. I identified fifty-one stakeholders and thirty touch points in a textile supply chain from manufacturer in China to retail in The United States. Each of the stakeholders has different requirements for accuracy of the read data. After calculating a rough estimate of data quantity, I reduced data by setting some standards for aggregation and creating a mathematical model for inference and communication of read accuracy. I discovered that by dividing data requirements into two types, summarized event data and detailed exception data and business forms, I could meet all the stakeholders' needs. The solution was to implement a hybrid publish/subscribe architecture and service oriented architecture. / by Maximilian Greer Locher. / M.Eng.in Logistics
