Today, with widespread use of Internet in many areas, the common procedures frequently
encountered in business life such as contracting and negotiation need to be automated. The
distributed structure of the Internet and the difficulty of resources dispersed on one center
makes such a system to have a distributed architecture . In this study, for first time, automatization
of a contracting form through business processes was proposed and was carried out.
A peer to peer process contracting overlay what we call Peer-Con is developed. The system is
an extension of Java Agent Development Framework (JADE) and uses IEEE Foundation for
Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) Agent Communication Language (ACL) standard. Cost
aware flexible representation of process capabilities / description of an operator to decide on
whether given capabilities turnout to an agreement or not and self organization of peer connectivity
for better contracting performance are distinguishing features of the system. The
system can easily be adapted to different domains while the core functionality remains the
same. Practical use of Peer-Con is shown by two applications from different domains / Driving
Route Calculation on Web Maps and Digital Signal Processing Module (DSPM) product
planning domain.
