"Electronic contracting, based on explicit representation of different parties's; commitments, is a promising way to specify and regulate behaviour in distributed business applications. In this paper, we show how the contract-based approach can be employed in the domain of European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) testing in which test centres, testers and test room operators cooperate in order to deliver certification testing to ECDL candidates. We describe how the cross-organisational transactions involved in ECDL testing can be specified in terms of machine-processable business contracts and how these contracts can be automatically negotiated, managed and monitored using the technologies developed in the IST-CONTRACT project. The application of the contracting technology enables important business advantages, in particular increased flexibility and reliability in delivering the testing services to ECDL candidates."@en .
