In modern technology we find interactive systems in many different forms and variations. Such systems may consist of mechanical parts, of electronic parts — called hardware, and of programs — called software. The programs are executed on the hardware. Typically, interactive systems consist of a set of components cooperating and exchanging information through interaction. In most cases, the interaction among the different components is rather sophisticated.
