Supporting Inter-Business Collaboration via Contract Negotiation and Enactment

The increasing complexity of products and services encourages more and more companies to form collaborative networks.

We suggest a possible architecture for such a business network that proposes a contract as the principal means of coordination and describes how such a contract can be designed and enacted.
