Ireland's 18M Euro Fingerprint System
The Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service are spending 18M euros for an electronic fingerprint system. Called AFIS, the system will take nearly 18 months to be developed. Biometrics techniques will be used on asylum seekers and non-EEA (European Economic Area) nationals to ensure that they are not lawbreakers elsewhere. [via Silicon Republic]

Active RFID Summit
Lost or stolen product costs European distribution centers as much as US$24B annually. Active RFID has the potential to help reduce such undesirable operating costs. This was the focus of the Active RFID Summit in Atlanta, Georgia, recently - an event hosted by IDTechEx. Circuits Assembly has a synopsis of the event.
