                        corner sharing the news of our funded projects 
                        ......   Beginning 
                        this month, we are glad to launch a new section in the 
                        eNews to introduce the projects funded by the LSCM 
                        R&D Centre. In this issue, we would like to provide 
                        more information on the newly funded projects in 2008, 
                        and continue to share more about the progress and 
                        updates of different projects. 
   With the 
                        fast-changing technologies nowadays, only the adoption 
                        of the relevant technology could provide the optimal 
                        advantage to the players in the logistics and supply 
                        chain community to lead the market. Named "A Market 
                        Intelligence Study on Enabling Technologies for 
                        Industries related to Logistics & Supply Chain 
                        Management" (ITP/036/07LP), the project aims to empower 
                        the community players in this manner on production and 
                        adoption of relevant technologies. 
   RFID 
                        tagging is becoming a necessity in the product packaging 
                        industry. "Package-specific RFID Tagging and Embedding 
                        Technology" (GHP/046/07LP) is a project that aims to 
                        design product specific RFID tags which are tuned and 
                        optimized for the packaging materials and different form 
                        factors to cope with the current industry 
                        needs.   
 Along with 
                        the popular adoption of RFID tags on the products, the 
                        consumers are beginning to aware of the privacy and 
                        security issues brought by the RFID tags. The project 
                        "Trustworthy RFID Technologies: Methodology and 
                        Practice" (GHP/044/07LP) will therefore focus to develop 
                        a set of trustworthy RFID methodologies for the 
                        market. 
   Utilization 
                        of smart containers embedded with RFID and e-seal will 
                        become popular as it is crucial for the realization of 
                        containerized global supply chains and international 
                        green lanes across the world.  A Shenzhen-Hong 
                        Kong collaborative project, namely "Interoperability 
                        Technology and Applications for Container RFID and 
                        e-seal" (GHP/025/07LZ) is aimed to develop smart 
                        container with RFID, e-seal, information platform system 
                        as well as to do R&D work on corresponding 
                        interoperable middleware and gateway 
                        technologies.
