Abstract

We introduce a natural and flexible framework for collaborative transactions called Consortium. We also define a new model for collaborative interaction that we call "What You See Is What You Want" (WYSIWYW), an abstraction that permits users to choose their own interaction modes with respect to the shared workspace.

Consortium is not an extension to the transaction model but rather a flexible framework for defining collaborative transactions. The contribution of this work is a framework for collaborative transactions that allows a transaction to:

1. support the abstraction of WYSIWYW,
2. span multiple sessions,
3. have multiple commit points,
4. have different participants at different times, and
5. differentiate between the concepts of owners and participants.
