Third-Party Monitoring. Detecting and handling obligation violations is essential, in particular as contracts often specify how to react in such circumstances, e.g. the operator taking a penalty for late servicing in clause R3 in Table 3. However, this requires independent contract parties to hold a consistent view of whether a violation has occurred – which is not always trivial to achieve in any distributed system. As part of our architecture, we attempt to meet this need by two complementary measures. Full details would exceed the scope of this chapter, but we summarise the ideas below and point interested readers to existing publications (Xxxxxx et al. 2009; Xxxxxxxxx et al. 2009). First, we allow contract parties to name and agree in the contract which observers are jointly trusted by all signing parties. The reason for this joint trustworthiness in an observer cannot be application-independent. For example, in a financial situation, a bank may be a trusted third-party observer, whereas in a remote procedure call we may have to rely on the combined reports of the caller and the callee to obtain a trustworthy observation. We, therefore, simply provide the mechanism to declare trusted observers and leave establishing trust to other mechanisms. Second, we provide a generic, independent monitoring component. This takes as input, a translation of the contract into augmented transition networks (ATNs). Each ATN corresponds to one clause, and consists of a series of nodes connected arcs labelled with observable messages. As messages pass between contract parties, trusted observers report this to the independent monitor, which follows the arcs in the ATNs. This tracking ultimately allows the monitor to declare (to manager services), that a clause is fulfilled or violated. The trace of messages observed also acts as a means to explain violations, so providing some supporting evidence for redress. There has been much previous work on various aspects of contract-based system modelling, enactment and administration, and our approach is intended to build on and be compatible with other ideas presented elsewhere. For example, there are many approaches to negotiation which may be used in the establishment of contracts (Xxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2000), and the administration of contracts can integrate with other useful behaviour, such as observation of fulfilment and violation of obligations potentially feeding into a longer-term assessment of systems (Xxxxx, Xxxxxx xx Xxxxx, & xx Xxxxxx, 2...
