Contract enactment concerns the execution of the contract. In the specific context of contracts on QoS aspects, this activity coincides with the monitoring of the satisfaction of QoS guarantees , policies or Business rules negotiated by the service providers and the service requestors [Comuzzi et al. 2008].One main flavor of contract enactement is the failure handling, i.e while a participant fails to fulfil its contracted promise. In this case a prompt deviation (forcast or not) has to be decided by the parties. At the service infrastructure level, one must handle fault tolerance, at the service composition one must handle transactional behaviours and at the level of Business Process Management one must handle contrary-to-duty and adaptation. An underpinning formalism for contrary to duty is deontic logic, or preferences logic. [Marek,Sergot 96] ,[Schneider 2009], | ||||
