“…The core components of the resolution service described in Section 5 (relevance engine, contract rules, event queue, event logger and timer) have been implemented [3]. The service relies on Drools (JBoss rule engine [10]), for the decision capabilities of the relevance engine and for rule management.…”

In a contract, exceptional clauses specify sanctions that come in force when the primary obligations are not fulfilled. An important aspect of exception handling is their resolution: determining which particular exception clause should be enforced when a violation is detected. This paper presents a specification and resolution technique for electronic contracts that can be used by a third party exception resolution service.

“…The impact of relaxing this assumption, as well as the practicality of the approach developed here, are also examined in the paper. Major parts of the system described here have been implemented; brief description is presented in this paper (for addition details, the reader is referred to [3]). …”

“…At a given moment, each business partner can have several rights, obligations and prohibitions, in force. This idea is at the heart of the functionality of the CCC that we have implemented [2]: the CCC is an observer of execution of operations that determines and declares whether the operation is or is not contract compliant.…”

Advances in Cloud computing are making it possible for service providers to offer computational resources such as storage and compute power (infrastructure as a service, IaaS) to sophisticated enterprise application services (software as a service SaaS) to remote clients for a fee on a highly dynamic basis. As in any business transaction, client access to a service is regulated by a legal Service Agreement (SA). A service agreement needs to be negotiated and agreed between the provider and the client before the latter can use the service. Then on, both the client and the provider will need assurances that service interactions are in accordance with the SA, and any violations are detected and their causes identified. There is thus a need for automated support for negotiation and enforcement of service agreements. This paper discusses key design issues for such a system, of which the main one is to ensure that the policies (termed also clauses) contained in an SA are logically sound and that they work in harmony with any private policies of the client and the provider. The paper presents an architecture and a proof of concept implementation.

“…These approaches describe information sharing between service partners with message exchanges, which are considered as static objects. Implementing message-oriented middleware platforms, message interaction protocols enable and control the conversation (Strano et al, 2009). To specify business relationships entirely, it is important to consider business collaboration with business orientation instead of data value exchanges alone.…”

Abstract:Collaborative business services represent the collaboration of business service domains across organisations. This collaboration is characterised by the interdependencies of business activities and business resources between business partners. These interdependencies require information and process sharing within constraints to ensure consistency across organisations. Most approaches for collaborative business service analyses fall into two categories: 1) those based on business-process modelling perspectives using a business process modelling language; 2) those based on collaboration patterns such as network topology or interaction patterns. However, no studies examine the connections between the two categories even though collaboration patterns influence business-process management. In this paper, we investigate the sharing of different aspects of business objects such as data value and behaviours in the context of collaborative services. We formalise this approach with a collaboration framework, and present constraints emerged. To implement the framework, we develop a model of collaborative business services and evaluate its effectiveness.
