Abstract :
The complexity and the extension of tasks in the world today demand an extensive interaction among people with different knowledge backgrounds, who need to work in cooperation, aiming at a common goal. We present a method to model the tasks and actions that a group of users carries out when working cooperatively through a computational system interface. For this purpose, we use scenarios for requirements gathering for user-cooperative interfaces. Along with the method, we propose the use of a notation that was developed to support interaction characteristics of users in cooperative work
