摘要	Teamwork is an effective way of cooperative problem solving in dynamic and unpredictable application contexts. The concept of joint intention is the key of teamwork. How various speech acts can be used to form, maintain and dissolve the joint intention is a significant problem need to be investigated. The paper makes an in-depth analysis of the insufficiency of FIPA ACL with which agents to form the required joint intention in teamwork. We distinguish joint-request between delegation-request and extend the FIPA ACL by defining a new joint-request act whose properties are discussed. Based on the defined joint-request, we propose a teamwork protocol, associated with its formal semantic description and demonstrate its application as well. The teamwork protocol presents an interaction pattern that differs from those of existing elementary request protocol, contract-net protocol and auction protocols within FIPA Interaction Protocol Specifications. The proposed protocol can facilitate design of interaction modules in multi-agent teamwork.
