B2B contract implementation using Windows DNS

This paper describes our implementation of a support infrastructure for electronic contracting-an important ingredient of Business-to-Business (B2B) e-commerce. The paper first explains the main benefits of the new generation of Microsoft technologies-Windows Distributed interNet Applications Architecture (DNA) and BizTalk. This is followed by a detailed description of how we take advantage of the XML tools provided by these technologies-to implement our enterprise model of contracts. We use a real-world contract scenario as a test-bed for examining our e-contract architecture and for implementing our prototype. The prototype was developed using publicly available BizTalk preview technology.
