 In this work we extend the communication abilities of agentsin multi-agent systems by enabling them to reason about the credibilityof information to be shared with other agents. We propose a frameworkin which agents exchange sentences of a logical language enriched bymeta-information. We discuss several possible approaches and presentan advanced approach overcoming previously shown problems. For this,we make use of a calculation method for the plausibility of informationknown from approaches to belief dynamics in multi-agent systems. More-over, we present how this can be implemented in a multi-agent system.
