This paper (23 page PDF) is just the tip of a very large iceberg known as i* (pronounced i-star).. "The i* modeling framework [ 122][ 123] was an attempt to introduce some aspects of social modeling and reasoning into information system engineering methods, especially at the requirements level." In particular, "i* recognizes the primacy of social actors. Actors are viewed as being intentional, i.e., they have goals, beliefs, abilities, and commitments." Since its introduction ten years ago i* has been standardized as as ITU-T Recommendation Z.151 (250 page PDF). It can of course be applied to learning technology; Enric Mayol provides an example of an i* model for an academic tutoring system.
