Teams are inherently paradoxical, in that it comprises apparently contradictory elements, each of which is true. The differences of individual beliefs, intentions and plans cannot be accomplished, yet team demands that these different insights be combined or integrated such that agents act as one. In this paper we present a teamwork model that identifies the key issues of team problem solving by dynamic team planning. Our teamwork model is based on a concept of team knowledge emphasizing on the team agent architecture, which allows robust and coherent team behavior. The application and implementation of this model to a virtual fire- fighting domain has revealed a promising prospect in developing team agents.
