	abstract = {The concept of team formation, or joint action, is central to a wide variety of disciplines includingorganizational design, computational organization theory, planning and learning in multi-agent
systems, and distributed artificial intelligence. One key feature of team formation is the under-
lying social network topology which determines the direct interactions among the individuals of
the organization. Traditional models of social phenomena have been restricted to regular lattice,
or fully-connected, network topologies, but recent results have shown that real-world networks
have much different and much richer structure. Using a simple agent-based computational model
of team formation, various virtual experiments are conducted to examine the impact of complex
network structures on the dynamics of team formation.
