Joint actions are introduced as a language basis for operational specification of reactive systems. Joint action systems are closed systems with no communication primitives. Their nondeterministic execution model is based on multi-party actions without an explicit control flow, and they are amenable for stepwise derivation by superposition. The approach is demonstrated by deriving a specification for serializable databases in simple derivation steps. Two different implementation strategies are imposed on this as further derivations. One of the strategies is two-phase locking, for which a separate implementation is given and proved correct. The other is multiversion timestamp ordering, for which the derivation itself is an implementation.
