Cooperative work support is introduced since many concurrent workspaces may contain and change the same objects (files). So, there are needs to synchronize objects and control concurrent work. It is also important since the duration of an activity can be very long, which means the files would be locked for too long and severe dead lock would occur, to solve this problem, merge algorithm is used to resynchronizing objects.

Famous quotes containing the words cooperative, work and/or support:
“Then we grow up to be Daddy. Domesticated men with undomesticated, frontier dreams. Suddenly life—or is it the children?—is not as cooperative as it ought to be. It’s tough to be in command of anything when a baby is crying or a ten-year-old is in despair. It’s tough to feel a sense of control when you’ve got to stop six times during the half-hour ride to Grandma’s.”
—Hugh O’Neill (20th century)
“...if we would be and do all that as a rational being we should desire, we must resolve to govern ourselves; we must seek diversity of interests; dread to be without an object and without mental occupation; and try to balance work for the body and work for the mind.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“War ... should only be declared by the authority of the people, whose toils and treasures are to support its burdens, instead of the government which is to reap its fruits.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
