Abstract

The cooperation and consistency among transactions in cooperative systems suggest that traditional transaction processing paradigms need to be modified for target applications. We propose a new framework that borrows its concepts from the evolution of database management systems. Transaction Independence and Incorporation of Workflow ideas within applications are the foundations of this framework. Cooperation is gained by TCMS, an external, domain-independent framework. This paper outlines the requirements, approach, architecture, and the implementation of TCMS.
