Teamwork concepts:

• Joint activities
  • Interpredictability

    team has to have mutual knowledge, beliefs and assumptions about others' skills or capabilities -> related to the Ontology in our project

    individuals are able to modify actions of the others, as well as conditions and priorities
    one can influence others, they react to the influence
