In this paper, we propose an agent-based framework for the automation of contractual relationships. Contracts are defined as specification of expected behaviours and are modelled using the logical constructs of norms and sanctions. Based on the dynamic nature of norms, we introduce a collaborative protocol used by contractual agents to share their views on contractual commitments. Lastly, we present the conceptual architecture and the high-level reasoning process of contractual agents.
