Task modelling for capillary collaborative systems based on scenarios

In this paper, we describe the role of scenario-based approach. We integrate it in a more global perspective of a well-organized process for Capillary Collaborative Systems design based on a collection of models which are used in design and evolution to take into account the context of mobile users. The contribution sets on the transformation of scenarios into an operational application via a behavioural model which include the context of use, actors, tasks tree, workflow and artefacts of a collaborative activity. We concretize this research with a tool called Context Behavioural Model Environment (CBME) which helps the designer in the transformation of scenarios into a behavioural model (tasks model included).
