[Air-l] Second annual RFID Seminar Series will convene at Baylor University's Hankamer School of Business (fwd)

[Beth Kolko]

Barry,

I can't speak to the perspective of the folks at
Baylor, but there is much RFID research is taking the
social science implications head on. There is really
interesting work going on at the Intel Researach lab
in Seattle; Batya Friedman at Univ of Washington has
done some interesting work, too. My colleagues in
industrial engineering who deal with supply chain
issues are also starting to collaborate regularly with
people in the social sciences and in public
policy/public affairs.

Best,
Beth
