A contract authority for use by an automated system of record and an automated negotiations engine for iterative, multivariate negotiations which stores each set of terms proposed at each iteration to form the basis of the system of record. The contract authority of the invention assigns a unique identifier to each negotiated transaction and enables the participants to use that number to track all activities against the transaction for analysis and reporting purposes.

System and method for contract authority

An automated negotiations engine for iterative, multivariate negotiations of developments of products and programs which stores each set of terms proposed at each iteration to form the basis of the system of record. Active templates created using the present invention can be used to inform other systems automatically of agreed upon terms so that products or computer programs can be generated by them.

System and method for automated, iterative development negotiations

An process mining system for analyzing the processes used to implement negotiated contracts and other agreements stored in an automated system of record. Using unique identifiers assigned by the contract authority of the invention, process mining can be done to evaluate the effectiveness of processes used to implement one or more sets of negotiations.

System and method for process mining

An automated system of record creates and administers a sponsored community for participants. Participants use an automated negotiations engine for iterative, multivariate negotiations that stores each set of terms at each iteration to form a system of record. The automated negotiations engine can also be used to propose and negotiate specifications, prototypes and implementations of other systems. An active contract feature informs the results of such negotiations, by incorporating predefined templates to track activity related to the concluded negotiation. The system implements a higher level of security by validating activities against the originally negotiated terms. A contract authority assigns a unique identifier to each transaction to track activities against the transaction for analysis and reporting. A multiple repository enables users to maintain the non-repudiation data for transactions in which they participate at user designated locations. Participants can also use process mining to measure the effectiveness of processes.
