RFID技術帶來了提昇商業流程效率的好處。近年來，RFID技術幾乎已經應用於各個領域，包括運輸業、供應鏈管理、藥品管理與物流業。是否導入RFID技術已經成為各企業必需面臨的議題。
基於RFID技術和Web Services技術，本論文提出一個適用於RFID環境的web services-enabled (WS-Enabled)架構，此架構為RFID讀取器與後端應用程式伺服器之間的溝通媒介。WSARE包含由以下元件：Data Acquisitor、Services Manager、Business Process Rule Base、Web Services以及RFID Database。WSARE中的Web Services包括下列服務：Filter、Reader Controller、Data Integrator、PML Parser、Exception Handler、Data Inquiry、Information Service和Object Name Service。此架構主要特色為減少修改和維護成本、跨平台、有彈性以及獨立性。
基於WSARE架構，我們提出一套用於遊樂園的自動化RFID管理系統(AP-WSARE)並加以實作。AP-WSARE提供更有力的方法來管理遊樂園。透過AP-WSARE，遊樂園能自動的收集遊客的資料，使部分工作流程自動化以及提高遊客的安全性。此系統能讓遊樂園提供更高品質的服務，並提昇其競爭力。

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology provides potential benefits to improve the efficiency of business processes. In recent years, RFID technology has been applied to almost every domain including transportation, supply chain management, medicine management or logistics management. Whether or not to adapt RFID technology has already become the issue that every enterprise has to confront.
In this thesis, an efficient web services-enabled (WS-enabled) architecture for RFID environment (WSARE) is proposed based on RFID and Web Services, which is the communicative medium between RFID readers and end-back application server. The WSARE consists of the following components: Data Acquisitor, Services Manager, Business Process Rule Base, Web Services and RFID Database. The Web Services of WSARE includes Filter, Reader Controller, Data Integrator, PML Parser, Exception Handler, Data Inquiry, Information Service and Object Name Service. Reducing modification and maintenance cost, crossing platform, flexibility and independence are the main characteristics of WSARE.
An automatic RFID management system based on WSARE for amusement park AP-WSARE is proposed and implemented. The AP-WSARE provides a more powerful means to manage an amusement park. Through the AP-WSARE, amusement park can collect the data of visitors automatically, automate some workflows, and improve visitors’ security through the system. Such a system will be able to provide higher quality of service and improve the competitive force.
