Workshop on Contract Architectures and Languages (CoALa2005)

          September 20, 2005,  Enschede, The Netherlands

     (www.dstc.edu.au/Research/Projects/coala/2005/)

(In conjunction with EDOC2005 Conference, 21-23 September 
2005) 

                  Call for Papers

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

The inter-organisational, cross-jurisdictional and collaborative
nature of business today increasingly requires that organizations 
have more transparent view of data, information and processes of 
their partners. This implies the need for an almost instant access 
to and a more reliable and accurate view of the business contract 
data, including both static contract definitions and real-time contract
execution. However, contracts are still treated mostly as legal
documents disconnected from other enterprise systems in spite of 
the fact that they are a central mechanism for defining interactions 
and policy framework for inter-organisational business 
collaborations.
Although contracts are a key governance mechanism for such
collaborations there is currently inadequate e-business support for
using contract information to manage cross-organisational
interactions. In addition, current support for the management of
contracts themselves has an 'inward' focus, namely on internal
enterprise data and processes. The requirements of the extended
enterprise, which includes collaborative arrangements between a
company and its trading partners, increasingly demand a more 
'outward' perspective on enterprise contract management. The 
importance of contracts as a governing mechanism for any 
extended enterprise and the capabilities of new technologies such 
as Web Services require new and better understanding of contracts 
from enterprise distributed perspective. 

The first CoALa workshop was held in conjunction with EDOC2004
conference and the best papers from this workshop will be 
published in a special issue of Journal of Collaborative Information 
Systems in 2005. This second workshop was requested by many 
participants of CoALa2004. The aim is to continue providing an 
opportunity for exchange of ideas about the enterprise contracts, 
their role in enterprise systems and new solutions to these 
important enterprise problems.

SCOPE

This Workshop will provide a collaborative forum for the participants
to exchange recent or preliminary results, to conduct intensive
discussions on a particular topic, or to coordinate efforts between
representatives of a technical community in the area of Contract
Architectures and Languages. The program committee seeks 
papers and proposals that address various aspects of contracts, 
including enterprise modeling, e-business, formal and legal aspects 
with the aim of providing a balanced mix of presentations from 
these different perspectives. 

The duration of the workshop is one day and this workshop will be 
held on September 20, 2005.

TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Enterprise contract architectures
- Contract as a basis for coordination of cross-organisational
interactions
- Contracts from system theoretic point of view
- Formalisms for expressing contracts
- Contract description languages
- Contract negotiation, validation
- Run-time contract monitoring and enforcement
- Standardisation activities for e-contracts (e.g. legalXML OASIS 
and
UN/CEFACT): status and directions
 - The use of model-driven techniques and tools - Legal issues 
associated with electronic contracts - Tools
for drafting and constructing contracts - Integration of contract
management systems with other enterprise systems, e.g. payment 
systems
and ERP systems - Contract management requirements for specific
contracts, e.g. SLAs, construction, financial and e-government
contracts - Trust and contract management issues - Use and
applicability of existing standards/initiatives (e.g. Web Services,
BPEL4WS, WS-CDL, RuleML etc) - Links between contracts and 
business
processes - Practical experience with contract management 
systems
