      Transaction processing systems provide the required tools to
      maintain data consistency transparently. However, application
      diversity imposes conflicting requirements on transaction
      management. This report presents a framework of adaptable
      transaction management supporting short-duration applications,
      long-duration applications and cooperative applications. In
      addition to allowing an application to choose a transaction
      manager according to its characteristics, the proposed framework
      provides version management and support for synchronous and
      asynchronous interactions among users working in collaboration.
