I+ is a multiparadigm language for object-oriented declarative programming as well as parallel programming. I+ is an integration of three major programming paradigms: object-oriented, logic and functional with salient features for modelling distributed applications, however, I+ has a number of limitations in developing multi-agent applications as well as programming mobile agents. In this paper, we try to introduce a dedicated set of primitives necessary for communication among agents and an HTTP-based infrastructre to serve mobile agents to I+, the resultant language is called I*, we argue that I* is a language suitable for the development of agent-oriented applications.
