TL;DR

The authors resort to the Activity Theory as an analytic tool and establish general and specific requirements for such an approach to the development of Interaction Systems.

Abstract

In the Cyberspace context Information Systems become Interaction Systems, effective mediators of the activities performed. Our goal is to consider the challenges of such a scenario and analyse the requirements for a methodological approach to the development of Interaction Systems. To that aim, the authors resort to the Activity Theory as an analytic tool and establish general and specific requirements for such an approach.
