Abstract
e-HUBs (URL1) is an ongoing research project partly funded by the European Commission, aiming to develop a web hosted e-engineering service (or “e-Hub”) which is able to facilitate the outsourcing of engineering services. A key issue for the success of the e-Hub is how to build a secured and reliable On-line Contracting System” (OCS). To build such an OCS, this paper studies several important aspects related to the legal and contractual issues in e-Hubs, which include: 1) how legal and contractual issues are addressed in general business e-hubs; 2) what are the requirements for the design of e-engineering OCS; and importantly 3) what could be learned from the OCS developed in the eLEGAL project.
