Abstract

Summary In this paper we present the methodology of research that has been the base of our work. The main objective is to study contractual relations; this is the reason why we talk of a contract-oriented research methodology. Through bibliographical research, assistance to workshops and industrial contacts, we identified the basic elements that are the basic issues for understanding and describing a contractual relation. After explaining why we chose these elements, we will describe them as well as their characteristics. We also show how we describe a relation between an upstream and a downstream company. Then we present a mathematical model of this relationship.
