Abstract
Recent work shows that there is interest in how individual artificial agents can work in successful competitive and collaborative teams including people and other agents. Applications involving competing agents include online auctions. Applications for collaborative teams include remote space missions, disaster recovery (e.g., to coordinate a rescue mission) and helping organize appointments for a team of people (Pynadath & Tambe, 2003); as an aid to independent living developing teams of health carers, including artificial carers (Wagner, Guralnik, & Phelps, 2002); in command and control as coordination and communication assistants (Fan et al., 2005); and pedagogical agents in teaching systems (e.g., Shaw, Ganeshan, Johnson & Millar, 1999; Feng, Shaw, Kim & Hovy, 2006).
