It provides a comprehensive overview for researchers in multi-agent systems, but is incremental as a survey.

This survey paper structures the ad hoc teamwork problem, where agents collaborate with new teammates without prior coordination, and discusses progress and open problems in the field.

Ad hoc teamwork is the research problem of designing agents that can collaborate with new teammates without prior coordination. This survey makes a two-fold contribution: First, it provides a structured description of the different facets of the ad hoc teamwork problem. Second, it discusses the progress that has been made in the field so far, and identifies the immediate and long-term open problems that need to be addressed in ad hoc teamwork.
