Paper Abstract:	In the development of interactive systems stakeholders, who are often experts from different fields, work over a longer period of time on creating and engineering artifacts like different kinds of specifications and finally the interactive system. Especially if it comes to interactive procedures, common, further developable models are inevitable. In practice, Use Cases, as a reasonable technique for specifications of interactive procedures in the application development, became prevalent in Software Engineering. Because of the heterogeneity of modeling approaches and different levels of detail ranging from paper-based models to modeling tools and formal techniques, a specification method like Use Cases have to offer continuous modeling in an incremental and iterative way without media breaks. To achieve this we introduce the method of Interaction-Cases in conjunction with strong “background” mechanisms like object-oriented inheritance, structuring and classification to provide all stakeholders with a powerful and scalable modeling technique that is applicable from the early phases of a development project until its final implementations and test specifications. The method of Interaction-Cases allows for structuring Use Cases hierarchically on multiple levels increasing the level of detail and descriptive power of the interaction model continuously from even paper-based concepts to an interaction description that is close to the real interactive workflows in the final interactive system.
