....exist two alternative approaches in the development of cooperative systems; the first and most traditional approach is to develop systems which support the exchange of information between users. The second refers to the development of systems which exploit the sharing of information; see also Blair and Rodden (1991). Systems based on information exchange are often called structured and assume an asychronous and remote mode of cooperation. The assumption uderlying these systems is that the members of the group coordinate primarily by exchanging messages. The second approach considers the way users share ....

....and cooperation. Work conducted in the open distributed systems area, provides a number of open research issues ranging from distribution transparency to the subject of continuous sychronization for the control of event orderings and precise timing of multimedia interactions; see e.g. Blair and Rodden (1991). The support of group processes could benefit greatly from advancements in such research. d. Support of sequential and concurrent processing A subject that arises from the two above mentioned issues refers to concurrency control. A wide spectrum of solutions have been proposed for ....
