<p>Our friends at <a href="http://www.rsa.com/rsalabs/" target="_self">RSA Labs</a> (the Security Division of EMC) invited a talk on the RFID Ecosystem as one of three talks in a session on academic research.  In my talk I presented an overview of the RFID Ecosystem project and then drilled-down to describe some key challenges for pervasive RFID data management (e.g., uncertainty, privacy) and how we address them with the Cascadia system (my talk is available <a href="http://rfid.cs.washington.edu/images/welbourne-EMC.pdf" target="_self">here</a>).  The talk went quite well and was followed by some great questions and discussion with a few of the more than 1,000 attendees.  After the talk I had a chance to meet with researchers from RSA as well as <a href="http://china.emc.com/microsites/wheretalentlives/english/ourcenter/ourcenter4.htm" target="_self">ERC</a>, EMC&#8217;s new research center in Beijing, China.  I received a lot of great feedback from these very interesting groups &#8211; the conference was a fantastic experience overall!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[ We just returned from two weeks at the SIGMOD and MobiSys conferences where we presented demos of the RFID Ecosystem&#8217;s event detection infrastructure, Cascadia.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin: 5px; float: left;" src="http://rfid.cs.washington.edu/images/mobisys-sigmod-08.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="124" /> We just returned from two weeks at the <a href="http://www.sigmod08.org/" target="_self">SIGMOD</a> and <a href="http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2008/" target="_self">MobiSys</a> conferences where we presented demos of the RFID Ecosystem&#8217;s event detection infrastructure, <a href="http://rfid.cs.washington.edu/images/mobisys-08-welbourne.pdf" target="_self">Cascadia</a>.  Cascadia allows developers and end users to declaratively specify meaningful high-level events (e.g. &#8220;a nurse has entered patient X&#8217;s room with equipment Y&#8221;, &#8220;I leave the building without my car keys&#8221;) using a SQL-like sequence language or with an intuitive GUI called Scenic.  Cascadia can then continuously extract these events over a stream of incoming, uncertain RFID data using probabilistic data management techniques.  The Cascadia demos at SIGMOD and Mobisys illustrated Cascadia&#8217;s operation from end-user event specification, to event detection, to event notifications for one of two demo applications.  The original demo proposals are available on <a href="http://rfid.cs.washington.edu/publications.html" target="_self">our publications page</a>; both demos are also entirely web-based and will be posted online sometime in the coming weeks.</p>
