Modeling Interactions and Navigation in Web Applications

This paper presents a method that bridges the gap between requirements elicitation and conceptual, interaction and navigation design for Web applications. This method is based on user scenarios, use cases, and a new graphical notation, called User Interaction Diagrams. From these specifications, it is shown how to derive a conceptual model, and then how to derive the navigational structure of a Web application that supports the set of tasks identified in the scenarios.
