In multiagent systems, agents communicate with each other to satisfy an entire goal of the systems. To achieve this goal, an agent has to determine its behavior based on its situation in the operational environment. In previous works, an agent using information of external environment has been proposed. However, it is required to utilize various information with respect to each agent to realize a flexible communication among various agents. In this paper, we propose a basic framework of agent communication based on the internal information of an agent, called mental states, and also demonstrate an experimental result of the behavior which evaluates agents with mental states.
