Smart Contracts Contracts [PDF]
This paper explores the connection between software contracts and smart contracts. Despite the assonance, these two terms denote quite different concepts: software contracts are logical properties of software components, while smart contracts are programs executed on blockchains. What is the relation between them?

The Complexity of Contracts [PDF]
We initiate the study of computing (near-)optimal contracts in succinctly representable principal-agent settings. Here optimality means maximizing the principal's expected payoff over all incentive-compatible contracts---known in economics as "second-best" solutions. We also study a natural relaxation to approximately incentive-compatible contracts. We

This paper presents data and analysis from a long term ethnographic study of the design and development of an electronic patient records system in a UK hospital Trust. The project is a public private partnership (PPP) between the Trust and a US based software house (OurComp) contracted to supply, configure and support their customizable-off-the-shelf ...

Gauge group contraction of electroweak model and its natural energy limits
The low and higher energy limits of the Electroweak Model are obtained from first principles of gauge theory. Both limits are given by the same contraction of the gauge group, but for the different consistent rescalings of the field space.
