Abstract: Today research on concurrency in object systems concentrates on concurrent objects. If one has to address situations involving concurrency control conditions spanning several objects one is still on one's own. This paper illustrates the need to be able to describe concurrency control in distributed situations. It presents the concept of cooperative concurrency control as a first step in addressing this problem. Cooperative concurrency control separates functional behaviour and concurrency control into individual objects interacting to achieve the behaviour of a single concurrent object. As this approach is based on object interaction it naturally extends to distributed situations.
