i* concepts

The following is a summary of many of the i* concepts appearing in the "Modelling Strategic Relationships for Process Reengineering" Phd thesis paper by Prof. Eric Yu - University of Toronto..

Each concept is explained by refering to passages in the thesis work itself. Only sparcely own comments are added in squared brackets.

A star following a branch name means that the definition of the concept represented by this branch name is given somewhere else. Normally a "see also" hyperlink points to the original branch defining the concept.

Note: some hyper-links chains are very shallow while others can be much deeper, according to the amount of underlying concepts a branch contains.
