An e-contract is a contract that is specified, modeled and executed by a software system. E-contract business processes are modeled using workflows and their enactment is mostly dependent on the execution context. Existing e-contract systems lack context-awareness, and thus often face difficulties in enacting when context and requirements of e-contracts change at run-time. In this paper, we (a) present an approach for context pattern discovery and build a context-aware workflow execution engine, (b) develop an approach for context-aware execution-workflow to instantiate and execute context-based workflow instances and (c) provide a framework for context-aware e-contract enactment system. We also demonstrate the viability of our approach using a government contract.Read the full paper here: https://link-springer-com.proxy2.hec.ca/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-46397-1_23
