Near Field Communication (NFC)

This book provides the technical essentials, state-of-the-art
knowledge, business ecosystem and standards of Near Field
Communication (NFC)by NFC Lab - Istanbul research centre
which conducts intense research on NFC technology.

In this book, the authors present the contemporary research on
all aspects of NFC, addressing related security aspects as well as
information on various business models. In addition, the book
provides comprehensive information a designer needs to design an
NFC project, an analyzer needs to analyze requirements of a new NFC
based system, and a programmer needs to implement an application.
Furthermore, the authors introduce the technical and administrative
issues related to NFC technology, standards, and global
stakeholders. It also offers comprehensive information as well as
use case studies for each NFC operating mode to give the usage idea
behind each operating mode thoroughly. Examples of NFC application
development are provided using Java technology, and security
considerations are discussed in detail.

Key Features:

• Offers a complete understanding of the NFC technology,
  including standards, technical essentials, operating modes,
  application development with Java, security and privacy, business
  ecosystem analysis

• Provides analysis, design as well as development guidance for
  professionals from administrative and technical perspectives

• Discusses methods, techniques and modelling support including
  UML are demonstrated with real cases

• Contains case studies such as payment, ticketing, social
  networking and remote shopping

This book will be an invaluable guide for business and ecosystem
analysts, project managers, mobile commerce consultants, system and
application developers, mobile developers and practitioners. It
will also be of interest to researchers, software engineers,
computer scientists, information technology specialists including
students and graduates.
