However, existing teamwork models (both in theory and practice) focus almost exclusive on achievement goals, and ignore maintenance goals, where the value of a proposition is to be maintained over time. Such maintenance goals exist both in taskwork (i.e., agents take actions to maintain a condition while a task is executing), as well as in teamwork (i.e., agents take actions to maintain the team). This paper presents Diesel, an implemented teamwork and taskwork architecture, built on top of S oar, that addresses maintenance goals in situated agent teams. We provide details of Diesel's structure, and initial experiments demonstrating it in operation in a dynamic rich domain. }, wwwnote = {}, OPTeditor = {}, OPTvolume = {}, OPTnumber = {}, OPTseries = {}, OPTaddress = {}, OPTmonth = {}, OPTorganization = {}, OPTpublisher = {}, OPTnote = {}, OPTannote = {} }
