Abstract

The present invention provides methods of visualizing and modeling the interaction relationship among entities. An example method of visualizing the interaction relationship among entities includes the steps of: presenting the internal logic of entity in an entity container; and presenting the interaction relationship among the entities in an interaction space. A method of modeling the interaction relationship among entities, includes the steps of: defining each entity related to said interaction relationship; defining an interface of said each entity in an interaction space; and defining interaction logics among said interfaces in the interaction space.
