“…A system usually has a number of readers that forms a network to monitor the tags movement from one node to another (Dang, et al, 2009;Liu, et al, 2010b;Wang, Luo & Wong, 2010;Kim & Garrison, 2010). Besides reading tags, readers also can perform other functions such as writing data, setting password, locking data and killing tag (Dashevsky & Sokolov, 2009).…”

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is becoming increasingly popular as an automated tool for object monitoring and identification in a cost-efficient manner. RFID systems are made up of heterogeneous components consisting of both hardware and software. RFID components such as the readers are prone to failures with serious consequences to the overall system. Thus, issues such as reliability and dependability of RFID systems are receiving attention recently. This mandates fault management that includes monitoring the health of RFID readers and accessing the RFID reader configurations remotely. Therefore, an approach that detects the faulty readers with the aim to minimize the impacts of the faulty readers on the system reliability and dependability is of paramount importance. In this chapter, the authors discuss an approach to detect faulty readers in networked RFID system environments. Performance evaluation of the approach against other techniques is presented and shows that it performs reasonably well in the presence of faulty readers.
