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
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
To enable lively and productive discussions, attendance will be
limited to 25 participants and submission of a paper or a
position statement is required. All submissions will be formally
peer reviewed. Submissions should not exceed 8 pages in the IEEE
Computer Society format and include the author's name,
affiliation and contact details. They should be submitted by
e-mail as postscript or PDF files before June 20, 2005, to the
Workshop Chairs (coala-org@dstc.edu.au). Workshop proceedings
will be published on the conference CD-ROM, and all accepted
papers will appear in the IEEE Digital Library. The best papers
will be considered for publication in a special issue of a
related computer science journal. At least one author of accepted
papers should participate in the Workshop.
Authors will be notified of acceptance by July 18, 2005.
