ABSTRACT:
The subject invention provides a system and/or a method that facilitates adding a device to an RFID network and associated a process to such device. An interface can receive a new device and/or related identification data that is to be incorporated into an RFID network. A hot swap component can seamlessly adds the new device to a process within the RFID network based at least in part upon the identification data. The new device can be incorporated into the RFID network without the process stopping, restarting, and/or reconfiguring.
