A technology interaction is an Interaction at the Technology Layer.


A Technology Interaction represents a unit of collective technology behaviour performed by (a collaboration of) two or more Nodes.

A Technology Interaction describes the collective behaviour that is performed by the Nodes that participate in a Technology Collaboration. A Technology Interaction can also specify the externally visible behaviour needed to realize a Technology Service.

A Technology Collaboration may be assigned to a Technology Interaction. A Technology Interaction may realize a Technology Service. Technology Services may serve a Technology Interaction. A Technology Interaction may access Artifacts.

The name of a technology interaction should clearly identify a series of technology behaviours.
