It involves social processes by which a small group of students work together to complete an academic problem-solving task designed to promote learning.

Traditional atomic transactions do not work well in databases used by design applications. A typical design task is divided into parallel subtasks that are interdependent. We relax the constraint of atomicity in these situations to allow cooperative transactions to work together in groups to accomplish design tasks in the database. These groups may be arbitrarily nested to form a cooperative tr...
