In order to enable an agent to coordinate its activities with other agents and to participate in coalitions, one of the elements to take into account in its conception should be a social reasoning mechanism that allows the agent to reason about the other agents. This paper presents a social reasoning mechanism that extends, in some aspects, the models presented in previous works. Such a model supports the agent's reasoning concerning other agents, using notions of social dependence. In order to deal with concrete situations, where the agent?s knowledge is limited, a new perspective of coalition formation is presented in which the agents may not have knowledge of all the relevant details to realize their goals. The main concepts underlying the proposed social reasoning mechanism are presented, followed by an overview of the respective formal model, and some aspects related to the implementation of a system based on this model
