Abstract. E-contract fulfillment has many challenges because enactment is cross organizational and it involves interdependencies among its various elements namely parties, activities, clauses, exceptions, payments and commitments. E-contract needs inter organizational workflow services for monitoring its enactment. In this paper, we introduce the concept of e-contract elements based workflow views in order to bridge the gap between different aspects of e-contract and the services provided by a meta-workflow system. The enactment of e-contract is carried out using the meta execution workflow. It enables coordination among the workflow views and the workflow system for successful fulfillment.
Keywords: E-contract, Workflow Views, Dependencies, Exceptions
