In this paper we present a model based on Data- Flow Graphs called Interactive Data- Flow (IDFG) model. This model is used in the context of a CASE tool (SEPDS) for the specification of distributed interactive applications. Our effort was towards designing a model that would bridge the gap between designers and users perspective by providing the designers with a model that would permit them to &amp;quot;think in users terms&amp;quot;. IDFG combines elements of control and data models together with characteristics of the object oriented paradigm, adopting an action- based description of user goals. It is this focus on user actions that gives IDFG a phenomenological nature. In addition, IDFG can be combined with the underlying data model of SEPDS in a straightforward  manner, enabling the prototyping of distributed interactive applications. We show that IDFG meets many of the requirements that designers have from current interactive application specification systems, such as users- specified level of abstraction of interaction specification, support of mixed- initiative dialogues, modurarity and reusability of interaction. We conclude the paper by presenting a simple example of the application of IDFG and by presenting the state of our research.&lt;br /&gt;
