Abstract(in English) In multiagent system environment, the behavior of the whole system may be determined on the basis of inter-agent communication. Each agent obtains the status of the system by inter-agent communication and determines its behavior based on this information. To gather information of the whole system, however, an extremely large amount of communication will be required. In this paper, we propose a basic framework for processing the internal information of an agent, called mental states, and a method to determine agent's behavior based on mental states. Next, we propose a framework to make coalitions and a method to gather the information of the whole system with minimum amount of communication between agents.
