                     Processing 
                  Trade Enterprises are experiencing significant difficulties in 
                  meeting requirements of periodic online supervision from China 
                  customs authorities.  A recently awarded project, namely, 
                  "RFID-Enabled Real-Time Manufacturing Shop-floor Information 
                  Infrastructure for PRD Processing Trade Enterprises" 
                  (GHP/042/07LP), aims to develop an easy-to-deploy shop-floor 
                  information infrastructure for manufacturing companies to 
                  achieve real-time and seamless dual-way connectivity and 
                  interoperability between applications systems at enterprise, 
                  shop-floor, work-cell and device levels.  This project 
                  also strives to improve the visibility and traceability 
                  throughout the manufacturing processes.  This project is 
                  a joint research and development collaboration between 
                  organizations in Hong Kong and Guangdong Province.

                    Food safety attracts a lot of public interests 
                  in China and Hong Kong.  The University of Hong 
                  Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong will 
                  jointly participate in a Guangdong-Hong Kong collaborative 
                  research project, namely "RFID-enabled Platform Technology 
                  for the Integrated Shenzhen-Hong Kong Food Safety and 
                  Supply Chain Management Public Information 
                  Platform" (GHP/024/07LZ). This project targets to facilitate the integration of 
                  supply chain management amongst the enterprises across the 
                  regions and enable their seamless information flow along the 
                  food supply chain from China to Hong Kong. A 
                  cross-border RFID-enabled public information platform will be studied 
                  and developed. RFID and sensoring technologies will also be
