["Hayes, Brian" <Brian.Hayes@Commerceone.com>]

The "Collaboration Protocol Agreement Simple Negotiation Business Process
Model", version 0.06, work-in-progress, is available at
http://brianhayes.home.attbi.com/TR/index.html#CPPA

	4.1  Summary
	This model specifies a simple business process for negotiating
Collaboration Protocol Agreements.  The model is based on the Simple
Contract Formation Pattern as specified in ebXML E-Commerce Patterns
[bpPATT].  Further text TBD.
	This model was developed in accordance to the methodology (process,
meta-model, and notation) and patterns as set forth in the following
specifications and technical reports: Business Process and Business
Information Analysis Overview [bpOVER], ebXML Business Process Analysis
Worksheets and Guidelines [bpWS], ebXML E-Commerce Patterns [bpPATT], and
the UN/CEFACT Modeling Methodology [UMM].
	The following types of files related to this model are available at
http://brianhayes.home.attbi.com/TR/: BPSS XML Instance, web page version of
UML model, and the Microsoft Word version of this text.

Model, v 0.06, Post-script
     I did not have the time to do on-line research on negotiation prior to
"publishing" version 0.06.  However, here's some sites that might be worth
investigation for terminology, process etc.  For example, standard names for
the authorized roles and other terms such as B.A.T.N.A. may be found in
these resources:
*	UCLA Office of Contract and Grant Administration.
http://www.research.ucla.edu/sr2/gloss.htm
*	DLA Commercial Activities (A-76) Competition Guidebook.
http://www.dla.mil/J-8/A-76/DLSCA-76Guidebook.html
*	Formal Conversations for the Contract Net Protocol.
www.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~robertof/publications/acai01/acai2001Flores&Kremer.pdf
*	Google.com searches for negotiation, offer, proposal, role, etc.
