Abstract
A client computer group is created at a server computer by selecting a subset of a group of client computers, where each of the group of client computers has a separate communication channel with the server computer. A message from at least one of the subset of the group of client computers is received at the server computer. In response to receiving messages from at least two of the subset of the group of client computers within the client computer group, the messages are grouped under a single unit of work. A single decision associated with the single unit of work for the client computer group is computed. Each of the at least two of the subset of the group of client computers is operable to accept the single decision.
