The Youtopia Project

General information

We create declarative, easy-to-use languages for specifying and solving coordination problems as they increasingly occur in social Web applications. We integrate these languages with database languages such as SQL to support the generalization of database transactions to selectively give up isolation to allow for coordination among database applications and users.

This is a joint project with Cornell University.
