dc.description.abstract This paper is concerned with the role of formal notations and methods in engineering interactive systems. It begins by briefly reviewing the role of formal methods in Human Computer Interaction.The objective of capturing requirements for interactive systems, particularly those requirements that are concerned with folding a user orientated perspective into the design, is then discussed. An object oriented specification technique is introduced to emphasise human interaction with the system and to provide a first step towards specifying user requirements. The paper concludes by discussing the use of this approach to support design refinement and to check that specifications satisfy interaction requirements. en
