Original Abstract Submitted
a system, method, and computer program product receive a request for delivery of a package from an origin to a destination with a desired degree of information disclosure using the physical internet. a first carrier for a first leg of the delivery is determined based on the origin and an area coverage of the first carrier. the first carrier is not provided destination information as dictated by the desired degree of information disclosure. a candidate list of other carriers for transporting the package in one or more subsequent legs is identified based on the historical performances of each of the other carriers and the desired degree of information disclosure. a final carrier from the candidate list is determined for a final leg of the delivery. the destination information is disclosed to the final carrier.
