Abstract

This paper presents a notation to specify executable electronic contracts to monitor compliance and/or enforcement of business-to-business interactions. A notable feature is that the notation takes into account the distributed nature of the underlying computations by paying due attention to timing and message validity constraints as well as the impact of exceptions/failures encountered during business interactions.
