MODULE 5 NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION - NFC (2 days) Sept. 17 & 18 - Module designed and coordinated by Serge Miranda, Professor, University of Nice Sophia Antipolis (France)

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a new short-range wireless connectivity technology with high expectations that
emerged from the combination of contactless identification (RFID Radio Frequency Identification)and cell phones. NFC
was launched on 2004 by Philips (NXP), Sony and Nokia. NFC can be used with a large variety of devices for touching
connectivity: consumer electronics, mobile devices, and PCs. Consumers will be ableto easily access a variety of
services (payment, transport, travel, infotainment, culture) and conveniently exchange information with a simple touch
gesture utilizing NFC technology. This module aims to deal with the following topics: market issues and forecasts, key technologies and standards, architecture and developments, applications & services, and academic NFC projects.
