In such \emph{ad hoc team} formation settings, team strategies cannot be developed a priori. Rather, an agent must be prepared to cooperate with many types of teammates: it must collaborate without pre-coordination. This paper challenges the AI community to develop theory and implemented prototypes of ad hoc team agents. It defines the concept of ad hoc team agents, specifies an evaluation paradigm, and provides examples of possible theoretical and empirical approaches to addressing the challenge. The goal is to encourage progress towards this ambitious, newly realistic, and increasingly important research goal.}, wwwnote = {}, }
