From what Gregg indicated, it appears that Cyte has developed some patterns
that effectively handle the 'large number of devices' management problem. It
would be nice to start collecting these device-oriented patterns so that they
can be made available to distributed system's architects.
Hey Gregg, now that I am thinking about it, wouldn't a pattern like this be
considered a secret that Cyte would want to use for competitive advantage?

Including some simulators sounds like an excellent idea. I have been looking
at Texas Instruments' RFID evaluations kits and their LF Micro evaluation kit
appears like it might be a good candidate for the kind of group experimenting
we are talking about:

Here is the main TI RFID website that contains more details:

Anyway, I/we definitely would be interested in pursuing a TSS sponsored RFID
experimental project if they are interested. It seems like it would be a good
way to obtain some valuable experience in this new area. If you could see what
the TSS management thinks about this idea that would be great.
Thanks,
Ted
