Abstract
Dynamic e-business is the latest development in e-commerce that is based on a concept of many-to-many e-services where applications (services) can be wrapped and presented as independent e-services or composed to create new e-services. This paper investigates a problem of contract preparation in many-to-many e-services by combining temporal and deontic logic. Contract composition is illustrated by an example called “eBigMove”.
