A contract is much more complex than its individual terms would suggest. Yet contract scholars have traditionally taken a reductionist approach to the study of contracts. According to “contractual reductionism,” a contract can be understood through each of its constituent terms.

To some extent the way that any industry organises itself is a collective response by the firms of that industry to their economic, social and political environment. Firms also need to take appropriate measures to deal with the specific types of inputs, the nature of the technology and methods used, and the characteristics of their output.

Contraction Theory for Systems Biology
2011In this chapter, we present a theoretical framework for the analysis, synchronization and control of biochemical circuits and systems modeled by means of ODEs. The methodology is based on the use of contraction theory, a powerful concept from the theory of dynamical systems, ensuring convergence of all trajectories of a system of interest towards each ...

Integrated Contracting Systems
Journal of the Construction Division, 1975Conventional contracting suffers from two drawbacks: (1) With the contractor barred from the design process, contracting can not be oriented towards his particular know-how and resources; and (2) the construction can start only after the detailed design is completed.

Complexity and uncertainty define our world, now more than ever. Scholars and practitioners celebrate modular contract design as an especially effective tool to manage these challenges. Modularity divides complex structures into relatively discrete, independent components with simple connections.

Rationale of Contract Awards and Contract Systems
Journal of the Construction Division, 1980Choice of proper contractor and contract system can control completion cost and completion time. A method to decide which tender is really economical has developed after a study of twenty-five representative tenders. In any tender, if the rates of items whose quantities are likely to vary considerably on the higher side are high the lowest tender may ...

In this chapter, A Systemization of Contracts, another common question is addressed: “What contract types should be relational contracts?” This is a great question when one considers there is a myriad of different contract types—ranging from a simple purchase order of goods based on standard terms to complex contracts such as business process ...

Systemic Effects of Contractions
1981The contraction of a large muscular organ like the uterus has to have significant systemic repercussions particularly because a very large proportion of the cardiac output, supplying the IVS circulation, passes through it. Almost every bodily system or apparatus is affected by the contractions of the uterus, but only those directly involved in ...

Contracts for evolving systems
16th IEEE International Symposium on Object/component/service-oriented Real-time distributed Computing (ISORC 2013), 2013In this work we address evolving systems, which are basically collaborative and distributed systems building up a larger scale system of system (SoS). These systems are able to adapt the current architecture to some changes in the environment. Constituent systems of a SoS, which represent the basic elements of our modeling approach, operate with ...

Contractive Systems with Inputs
2010Contraction theory provides an elegant way of analyzing the behaviors of systems subject to external inputs. Under sometimes easy to check hypotheses, systems can be shown to have the incremental stability property that all trajectories converge to a unique solution.
