Role: Expert Panel Member for the Electronic Freight Management Program.
Description:
Dr. Kerschberg served on an Expert Panel for US Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration program called Electronic Freight Management (EFM).

This entails the use of XML-messaging to enable customers, producers, shippers and freight carriers to share information and business process status reports across a virtual organization.
The panel also provided input and participated in a workshop related to the design of a particular proof-of-concept, called the CEFM, which has the Limited Brands in the role of placing orders with manufacturers in China and shippers in Hong Kong.
