Telework is becoming an important aspect of our social life, and it is raising many new problems for us to solve, such as how to match the most appropriate teleworkers to the most appropriate positions of a project, thus dynamically organizing a project team (Optimal Project Teaming) in a huge telework community. The objective in this paper is to propose a concept of a web-based and agent-based support system for project teaming carried out in a huge telework community, and develop a prototypical system based on the concept. We defined a model of project teaming in telework community, and pointed out current problems in web-based job matchmaking. Next, we proposed a concept of agent-based support system for project teaming which consists of an agent-based job matchmaking process and an elaborating process of the result by collaborative agents. The domain-specific heuristics used in the agent-based support process are formalized, and each agent in two processes is designed. Finally, a prototypical system based on the design is demonstrated.
