The problem of multiagent teams' cooperation raises the question of how to use or control collective products by decentralized multiagent teams. It then goes beyond teams interoperability problem. This paper presents the foundations of a model for the cooperation between existing multiagent teams. This cooperation requires nondisruption of teams' initial functioning as main principle for the model. This constraint led us to introduce the concept of virtual probes which cooperate to understand the collective products and to influence them through distributed virtual sensors and effectors on existing multiagent teams. The paper presents an illustration of the model implementation on cyber-physical multiagent teams.
