Hi Rajesh;

Welcome! You certainly came to the right place to get your question answered!

The short answer is that RFID stands for Radio Frequency IDentification. It really

became a hot ticket item when the larger retailers mandated the companies like mine

start shipping our products with RFID tags attached. The ensuing pandemonium has created

a rush of Internet articles and weblogs that do a pretty good job of defining the technology

and giving the usual opinions. If you want to learn more about RFID in general, check out

these websites; they should give you a sense of what it is all about.

If you are interested in SAP's solution (the Auto-ID infrastructure - AII), look no further

than SDN! Here are some links to technical articles and weblogs that discuss the solution in

more detail:
