With the emergence of cooperative applications it turned out that traditional transaction concepts are not suitable for these scenarios. Isolation of transactions, as guaranteed by the ACID transaction properties, contradicts the need of cooperation between users. In this paper, we propose a cooperative activity model that provides transactional properties suitable for cooperative scenarios. Ea...

Recent years have seen the emergence of a novel variant of this hypothesis, suggesting that cooperative breeding is associated with the elaboration of socio-cognitive abilities.

Humans, in addition, represent the world propositionally and conceptually (perspectivally), and they reason about it recursively and reflectively. The Shared Intentionality Hypothesis posits that these uniquely human forms of cognitive representation and reasoning emerged evolutionarily as cognitive adaptations for d...
