Recently, the debate over the integration of Wireless\r\nSensor Networks (WSN) and Radio Frequency Identification\r\n(RFID) has garnered an increasing amount of attention despite\r\ntheir appearing to be disparate technologies. On one hand, the\r\nRFID community realizes how adding sensor data to their\r\ninfrastructures could provide added value to the RFID-based\r\nservices. On the other hand, the use of unique identifiers in\r\nWSN would improve their manageability in a future where\r\nmillions of sensor nodes could be scattered across the globe.\r\nHowever, not only is it not clear which specific applications\r\nsuch an integration could bring, there is also no consensus\r\nregarding the best approach to achieve it. In this article, we\r\npropose a framework in which WSN and RFID coexist to\r\nprovide context information about users and objects. WSN\r\ninformation is coupled with unique identifiers and participates\r\nin the RFID core services. Additionally, context aware services\r\ninteract with the RFID infrastructure and provide real-time\r\nservice to the users participating in the framework.
