  1. The work by LexiFi, referenced here, has been extended over the years and integrated into a series of asset management systems, for instance, SimCorp Dimension, a wall-to-wall asset management system developed by SimCorp. LexiFi and SimCorp are both partners of the HIPERFIT Research Center (www.hiperfit.dk), based at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and featuring partners such as three of the biggest Danish banks. The HIPERFIT Research Center would be very interested in ideas on using contractual languages for modelling and capturing aspects of the global financial system. For a brief introduction to financial contractual languages, see the presentation http://www.hiperfit.dk/pdf/elsman_GSS2.pdf
