  We present our preliminary work on a multi-agent system involving the complex
human phenomena of identity and dynamic teams. We outline our ongoing
experimentation into understanding how these factors can eliminate some of the
naive assumptions of current multi-agent approaches. These include a lack of
complex heterogeneity between agents and unchanging team structures. We outline
the human social psychological basis for identity, one's sense of self, and
dynamic teams, the changing nature of human teams. We describe our application
of these factors to a multi-agent system and our expectations for how they
might improve the system's applicability to more complex problems, with
specific relevance to ad hoc teamwork. We expect that the inclusion of more
complex human processes, like identity and dynamic teams, will help with the
eventual goal of having effective human-agent teams.
