Abstract

We present a framework for teamwork based on a requirement's driven dynamic composition approach to electronic institutions, which builds on an existing formalism for agent-mediated electronic institutions. In the presented framework, agent teams are designed and deployed on-the-fly so as to met the requirements of the problem at hand. The result is a new form of electronic institution that is created dynamically out of existing components to provide ad-hoc communication and coordination support for teamwork. This approach combines a requirements driven configuration of a team in terms of the structure, competencies and knowledge required (team design) to fulfill problem requirements; and a dynamic negotiation of the communication and coordination components to use for every team role (team formation).
