A technology interaction describes the collective behavior that is performed by the nodes that participate in a technology collaboration. This may, for example, include the communication pattern between these components.
A technology interaction can also specify the externally visible behavior needed to realize a technology service.
The details of the interaction between the nodes involved in a technology interaction can be expressed during the detailed design using, for example, a UML interaction diagram.
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 behaviors; e.g., "Client profile creation" or "Update customer records".
