	abstract = {Today within the AAMAS community, we see at least four
competing approaches to building multiagent systems: beliefdesire-intention (BDI), distributed constraint optimization
(DCOP), distributed POMDPs, and auctions or game-theoretic approaches. While there is exciting progress within
each approach, there is a lack of cross-cutting research. This
paper highlights hybrid approaches for multiagent teamwork. In particular, for the past decade, the TEAMCORE
research group has focused on building agent teams in complex, dynamic domains. While our early work was inspired
by BDI, we will present an overview of recent research that
uses DCOPs and distributed POMDPs in building agent
teams. While DCOP and distributed POMDP algorithms
provide promising results, hybrid approaches help us address
problems of scalability and expressiveness. For example, in
the BDI-POMDP hybrid approach, BDI team plans are exploited to improve POMDP tractability, and POMDPs improve BDI team plan performance. We present some recent
results from applying this approach in a Disaster Rescue
simulation domain being developed with help from the Los
Angeles Fire Department.},
