Modeling social settings is becoming an increasingly important activity in software development and other conceptual modeling applications.

Then, we introduce Tropos, a formal language founded on the primitive concepts of i*, and demonstrate its expressiveness through examples. Finally, we give an overview of a project which uses Tropos to support software development from early requirements analysis to detailed design.
