In the following work (which implements a multiagent
based simulated world), the social entities such as teams are explicitly
modeled. Please see:
Tambe, M., Adibi, J., Alonaizon, Y., Erdem, A., Kaminka, G.,
Marsella, S. and
Muslea, I. 1999 Building agent teams using an explicit
teamwork model and
learning. Artificial Intelligence, volume 110, pages
215-240, 1999.

However, the model is based on the notion of mutual-belief, and
is quite weak.
