Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We introduce a concept of agent groups and formulate the group gossiping problem. An (agent) group is a set of agents that work together to attain a single objective. For example, agents created by a single application form one group. Since multiple applications are executed in a single mobile agent system, there exist multiple groups in such a system. In this case, it is useful to support cooperation among agents in each group.
From this motivation, we formulate the group gossiping problem. The group gossiping problem requires each agent to collect information of all agents in its group. Since information to be collected is private and precious, no agents want to expose the information to other groups. For this reason, agents can exchange only control information (e.g., counter values or IDs) with other groups. In this setting, we aim to minimize the total number of moves to solve the group gossiping problem. As a result, we show the asymptotically tight upper and lower bounds for several network topologies.
