In a business-to-business collaborative setting, a choreography and a business contract (service agreement) are two specifications that describe permissible interactions between partners from different view points, emphasising different aspects. A choreography specification is a description, from a global perspective, of all permissible message exchange sequences between the partners. A business contract on the other hand specifies what operations the business partners have the rights, obligations or prohibitions to execute; it also stipulates when the operations are to be executed and in which order. It is naturally important to make sure that message exchanges as encoded in a given choreography conform to (are in accordance with) the contract between the partners. In other words, make sure that any message interaction permitted in the choreography will not cause a breach of the contract. The paper develops the concept of conformance between a contract and a choreography assuming that they can be modelled by Finite Automata. This approach opens the way for automatically establishing conformance by using model checking techniques.
