Abstract :
We present models for cost-benefit analyses of RFID implementations for retail stores. We discuss implementations of the data networks connecting the tag readers. Our models consider the cost of implementations including the cost of tag readers, the communication network cost and other infrastructure cost. In addition, we also present analytical models to consider the benefits of these implementations including automatic check-out and reduced inventory costs due to efficient shelf replenishment
