Both the Cooperative Computing research group at NTT and the Theory of Distributed Systems research group at MIT are carrying out research on theoretical foundations of distributed computing, with a focus on cooperative group activities in networks. Such group activities range from human social activities in cyber communities to powerful distributed applications involving data sharing and coope...

Cooperative analysis and design is often considered only to be applicable in settings where a system is being developed solely for the ‘user’ participants in the process. This paper, however, argues that there are quite good prospects in applying cooperative analysis and design techniques in specific use settings to inform development of general CSCW products. We describe and discuss the applic...

Cooperative applications need proper transactional support for coordinating joint activities, sharing of data, and semantically correct exchange of information of collaborating users. Conventional transaction models based on the ACID properties do not meet the typical requirements of cooperative applications. The CoAct model [27] is designed for supporting cooperative work in multi-user environ...
