Designing such an interface for users working collaboratively requires to deal with a number of issues. Herein, our concerns lies on the design of control component of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and corresponding User Interface (UI) software that implements it. We make use of our approach to interactive system development based on the MPX - Mapping from PAN (Protagonist Action Notation) into Xchart (eXtended Statechart) - and illustrate it by presenting the case study of a collaborative application. } }
