An RFID event tracking and management system provides a standardized approach that can be utilized by various industry verticals. A series of industry-specific data models can be built upon a common data model using an object-oriented database and relational mapping tool. Using the industry-specific data models, an object-oriented database is generated that can be used by all vertical applications that sit on top of the database. The data models can be defined using a data model service, such that query and capture interfaces can interact with the respective data model. Such an approach allows the data models to be dynamic, which is desirable as a single static data model is not appropriate for all industries.

Industry vertical RFID database models

An RFID event tracking and management system provides a standardized approach that can be utilized by various industry verticals. Loss of captured event data, such as RFID generated through an RFID event, can be prevented through a series of guarantee semantics. Approaches also provide for role-based data visibility. Queries received from a user or entity can be dynamically modified based on the role of the user/entity using a virtual private database (VPD). The modified query can result in a virtual private database automatically hiding or restricting access to event data at row, column, and/or cell levels, so that an authorized user/entity is only able to access data to which that user/entity should have access.

Security using EPCIS data and a virtual private database

A partner registration module can provide for an automatic registration of partners to a central server. An entire partner registration process can be automated from end to end, providing a unified process for registering partners. The partner registration module can be fully compatible with current registration agents and next generation registration agents.

Remote registration for enterprise applications

An RFID event tracking and management system provides a standardized approach that can be utilized by various industry verticals. Guaranteed event delivery can ensure that any event data captured by an RFID device is written to persistent storage. A first guaranteed commit process can ensure that event data captured by an RFID device is written to a persistent queue, and the event data is not released from the RFID device until the event data is verified to be in the persistent queue. A second guaranteed commit process then ensures that the event data in the persistent queue is written to persistent storage, and the event data is not released from the persistent queue until the event data is verified to be in the persistent storage.

Guaranteed RFID event delivery

An RFID event tracking and management system provides a standardized approach that can be utilized by various industry verticals. Loss of captured event data, such as RFID generated through an RFID event, can be prevented through a series of guarantee semantics. Approaches also allow an entity to control the integrity level of their data, such as where dimension data is not available to be correlated with coded event data. An entity can decide whether to allow querying on event data that has not been correlated with dimension data useful in interpreting the location data. The entity can alternatively decide to only allow access and querying of event data when the corresponding location and dimension data are compensated.

Systems and methods for determining storage locations for RFID data integrity and event compensation

A computer implemented method, an apparatus and computer instruction are provided for deployment of roles. Aspects of the present invention allow user to define in a schema a definition of a relationship that comprises a set of roles participating in the relationship. Each role in the set of roles is defined as an inlined role or an independent role. After the schema is processed, aspects of the present invention determine if the role in the set of roles is an inlined role or an independent role based on the definition of the relationship, deploy the relationship and the role as a single entity if the role is an inlined role, and deploy the relationship and the role as separate entities if the role is an independent role.

Method and apparatus for independent deployment of roles

A chunking controller within a broker layer detects a large object, where a large object is one that the size of the allocation of the large object within a memory heap exceeds a maximum contiguous free space within the Java heap. The broker layer operates atop the Java Virtual Manager to facilitate communication and business processes between heterogeneous systems. The chunking controller describes the large object by an underlying array of the large object divided into multiple pieces of a size not exceeding the maximum contiguous free space. Then, the chunking controller enables requests through the broker layer for allocation by the Java Virtual Manager of each of the pieces of the large object within the Java heap, such that the broker layer facilitates efficient allocation of large objects in the Java heap managed by the Java Virtual Manager.

Facilitating non-contiguous allocation of a large object within a java heap

A method, system, and program for facilitating non-contiguous allocation of a chunked object within a Java heap without changing the manner in which a Java Virtual Manager allocates objects within the heap are provided. According to one embodiment, a chunking controller within a broker layer detects a large object, where a large object is one that the size of the allocation of the large object within a memory heap exceeds a maximum contiguous free space within the Java heap. The broker layer operates atop the Java Virtual Manager to facilitate communication and business processes between heterogeneous systems. The chunking controller describes the large object by an underlying array of the large object divided into multiple pieces of a size not exceeding the maximum contiguous free space. Then, the chunking controller enables requests through the broker layer for allocation by the Java Virtual Manager of each of the pieces of the large object within the Java heap, such that the broker layer facilitates efficient allocation of large objects in the Java heap managed by the Java Virtual Manager.
