Building effective teams
2012
Teams of agents can be made more effective by the introduction of team assistants to accomplish specific tasks.Team assistants may be real or virtual and may be first class team members or only team adjuncts.For example, a team assistant may be created as a virtual, first class team member to serve as team manager to coordinate the actions of team members.The need for a team assistant might be indicated by evaluations either internal to (subjective), or external to (objective) the team.Some example subjective measures for determining the desirability of invoking a team assistant are given.
