“…The web service server is implemented to allow interaction among inter-organizational parties. Finally, the E-ADOME Workow Engine is used to support workow management [10]. It is clear from the analysis that the ER EC is not simply a conceptual metamodel, rather it species technological support, which highlights its practical applicability and usability.…”

“…ER EC species the ECA (event-condition-action) concept in order to monitor the events in the e-contract model, however this procedure is based on a manual analysis process. It searches for a specic activity or behavioral-related words to create the conditions and actions, such as if-else, contract violations, among others [10]. In summary, the review of the ER EC metamodel indicates that the ER EC oers the ability to adapt to run-time changes.…”

“…A contract event may refer to a situation such as add role, add party, or start payment. Furthermore, a temporal event can be specied as a time-based workow, such as a payment frequency [10]. In summary, contract structure describes the contract elements and their relationships (see in Figure 1).…”

Abstract. An adaptive service e-contract is an electronic agreement which is required to enable adaptive or agile service sourcing and provisioning. There are a number of e-contract metamodels that can be used to create a context specic adaptive service e-contract. The challenge is which one to choose and adopt for adaptive services. This paper presents a review and comparison of well-known e-contract metamodels using the architecture theory. The architecture theory allows the analysis of the e-contract metamodels using a threedimension analytical lens: structure, behavior and technology. The results of this paper highlight the metamodels structural, behavioral and technological dierences and similarities. This paper will help researchers and practitioners to observe whether the existing e-contract metamodels are appropriate to the adaptive services or if there is a need to merge and integrate the concepts of these metamodels to propose a new unifying adaptive service e-contract metamodel. This paper is limited to the number of compared metamodels.

“…Such complex collaboration requires organizations to manage not only their own business processes but also the collaboration with partners' business processes. In addition, the diverse authorities and relationships between organizations result in different views of the same business process [7], [8], and therefore, a good process visibility mechanism is needed to prevent authority and privacy violations. These requirements bring challenges to collaborative business process modeling, execution, and tracking of [9]- [13].…”

Abstract-Under the background of business globalization nowadays, many organizations are connecting their business processes into complex collaborative business processes to facilitate business collaboration. To adapt to the changing requirements and market opportunities, collaborative business processes have to evolve all the time. Such dynamics brings challenges to the modeling and tracking of collaborative business processes. In addition, these issues can be further complicated by the requirements of privacy protection and information openness in the interorganizational context. Aiming to tackle these problems, this paper proposes a comprehensive framework to model and track dynamic collaborative business processes with our extended relative workflow model. This framework helps each participating organization derive its collaborative business processes and update the processes at run time. A process visibility control mechanism is developed to enforce such derivation and extend organizations' process perception via process visibility transitivity. The whole framework is formalized with matrices and is theoretically proven to be privacy safe. Corresponding algorithms are developed for generating and tracking collaborative business processes. A prototype is also implemented for the proof-of-concept purpose.Index Terms-H.4.1.g workflow management, J.7.e process control.

Enterprises conduct business transactions with other enterprises for a number of economic, business and strategic motivations. These business relationships are often governed through legal business contracts. Contracts are instruments in not only establishing the legality of the business relationships but also (1) to spell out the expected behaviour from all parties concerned, (2) to make explicit all the obligations and responsibilities that each party undertakes to fulfil and (3) to divide the potential risks and costs involved in the proposed business transaction so as to be a mutually satisfactory arrangement. In this paper, we focus on the risk assessment and evaluation of proposed business contracts. By analyzing the obligations and their fulfillment criteria as stipulated in the business contract and thereafter applying risk models, we propose a methodology for evaluating the suitability of a proposed contractual terms and conditions for a particular business organization.
