Tag, You're It - NFC in a Home Environment

This paper envisions the application of Near Field Communication (NFC) in a home environment. Several NFC solutions are currently available in the logistics industry relying on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in addition to others being adopted for personal mobile interaction. The authors will demonstrate what separates a domestic setting from the aforementioned ones as well as the implications of those differences. Once the distinction has been made, they will present a comprehensive set of ways to exploit this technology in a smart home.
