1) Submit an executive summary on the specific industry and business problem that you are going to do your research paper on. The summary should contain enough of a detailed description of the business problem that someone unfamiliar with the specific industry will be able to understand how a technology like RFID could enhance or streamline the approach to solving the problem.

2) Submit a 4 page research paper on the RFID standards which apply to your selected industry. If there are no specific standards that you think apply to your selected industry then research how an existing RFID standard could be modified to support your selected industry. This paper will be graded using the rubric available under the syllabus section. The grade will not be included in the final class grade but will provide the student with the opportunity to receive instructor feedback similar to the final paper. The research will also be necessary to complete the final paper.
