Barcode Data Fusion through Application Level Events Compliant Middleware

In this paper we propose a mechanism for fusing data identified by a barcode scanner and sensor data through ALE compliant middleware. In this way the ALE server becomes an Auto-ID instead of RFID middleware, offering to capturing applications a unified view of the statements performed in a specific plant or warehouse, regardless of the technology used to capture these statements. The mechanism defines the notion of the generalized EPC, along with its corresponding generalized EPC pattern.
