Surden: Computable Contracts – Part 2

Professor Harry Surden of the University of Colorado has posted Computable Contracts – Part 2 , at Concurring Opinions .

[...] The goal of this second part is to explain the intuition behind how an ordinary contract can become a computable contract.

There are three steps to creating a computable contract:

1. Data-Oriented Contracting


2. Semantic Contract terms


3. Automated assessment of contract terms

I will discuss each of these steps in turn. [...]
