Abstract

Contracts are agreements between distinct parties that determine rights and obligations on their signatories, and have been introduced in order to reduce risks and to regulate inter-business relationships. In this paper we show how a conventional contract can be written in the contract language CL, model the contract and verify properties of the model using the NuSMV model checking tool.
