O presente trabalho analisa a qualificação do tipo social do contrato de EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) na ordem jurídica brasileira em face do tipo legal do contrato de empreitada. Investiga-se, portanto, a existência de identidade ou diferença entre ambos os tipos a fim de que se possa dar ao EPC a devida qualificação jurídica. Para isso, no Capítulo I, são apresentados os caracteres gerais dos contratos de construção, com foco na delimitação do espaço normativo específico ocupado pelo contrato de empreitada.

Temporary contracts: exposition and criticThe contract of term or fixed term or determined period constitutes one of the most frequent modalities of so-called atypical contracting. EfrénCórdova, in his famous presentation at XI World Congress of the International Society for Labor Law and Social Security (Caracas 1985), noted that, being typical the contract celebrated between an employer and a worker, to be executed to full time at the center of work and for an indefinite atypicalperiod, comes to be one that lacks any of these attributes, this is: (i) in which involves more than one employer,

Abstract:
The construction contract is a document which governs the business relationship of Contractor and Employer for the duration of a construction project. However, the selection of the contract type for the project tends to be performed too shallowly. The present thesis aims to analyse how the contract type is chosen among the three paradigmatic contracts considered here: lump-sum contracts, target-cost contracts and cost-plus contracts. The basis of the study is a case study performed on Project X, a large mine construction project in Western Europe. The relevant literature to the subject was rev

Abstract:
Smart contracts are the most advanced blockchain applications. They can also be used in the contractual domain for the encoding and automatic execution of contract terms. Smart contracts already existed before the blockchain, but they take advantage of the characteristics of that technology. Namely, the decentralised and immutable characters of the blockchain determine that no single contracting party can control, modify, or interrupt the execution of smart contracts. As every new phenomenon, blockchain-based smart contracts have attracted the attention of institutions. For example, in its Re

Abstract:
The notion of contract in computer science has been associated with several fields and application. The term of contract programming was firstly conceived in 1986 by Bertrand Meyer in connection with the design of the Eiffel programming language. The idea was that software systems collaborate on the basis of mutual obligations and benefits. The widespread of distributed application and the interaction with third party services brought to the adoption of contracts in defining software behaviours. In such settings, contracts are important for correctly designing, implementing, and composing d

Chapter 2 then establishes that the concept of contractual agreements was known to the Athenians and used in a variety of fields.
