Abstract
Software engineering and human-computer interaction communities use methods, techniques and tools that are not easily integrated. Our work argues that the development process could be improved by providing the designer with models, languages and tools that provides a seamless integration of software engineering and human-computer interaction approaches. In order to achieve this goal we have developed a language the Interactive Message Modeling Language (IMML) to support the development of interactive systems. This paper presents and discusses the concepts and models that are the foundation of IMML. We also compare our process with traditional task-based perspectives.
