Dr. Suresh Damodaran
will discuss in this informal presentation how
RosettaNet and ebXML technologically enable logistics
integration.
With the new regulations set by the US Customs, Dr.
Damodaran will
also give a brief analysis of the security and automation
challenges
to logistics companies.
RosettaNet is a consortium of major Information Technology,
Electronic
Components, Semiconductor Manufacturing and Telecommunications
companies working to create and implement industry-wide,
open
e-business process standards. These standards form
a common e-business language, aligning processes between
supply chain partners on a global basis. RosettaNet
is now a subsidiary of the Uniform Code
Council (UCC). (www.rosettanet.org)
The mission of ebXML is to provide an open XML-based
infrastructure
enabling the global use of electronic business information
in an
interoperable, secure and consistent manner by all
parties. ebXML
(Electronic Business using Extensible Markup Language),
sponsored by
UN/CEFACT and OASIS, is a modular suite of specifications
that enables
enterprises of any size and in any geographical location
to conduct
business over the Internet. Using ebXML, companies
now have a standard method to exchange business messages,
conduct trading relationships, communicate data in
common terms and define and register business processes.
