            Abstract : 
In this letter, the authors propose a spanning tree-based algorithm for an agent system, which breaks the mesh-structured agent system into a single tree-structured agent system. Then an algorithm for recalculating the information flow among agents without redundant information accumulation is presented. Finally, the proposed methodology is illustrated through a simple mesh structured agent system
