In less than 2 months, the IEEE RFID 2019 Conference will kick-off in beautiful San Diego, California. It is the 13 in the conference series and the 12-consecutive event that our group has attended. What started with an invite in 2008 to the Las Vegas conference by then TPC-chair Daniel Deavours has turned into an annual event for our group … and a haven for some of the best multi-disciplinary researchers in the IEEE community. Below is a list of the full-length papers that have been submitted over the years by our group (students bold-faced, as per GT curriculum vitae guidelines). There are 25 total papers to IEEE RFID (and 4 more to the related, international RFID-TA series):
