This special issue is looking for papers to drive the discussion on the issues mentioned above and related questions forward. We are looking for theoretic contributions as well as lessons learned that can be generalized. The list of topics comprises, but is not limited to:

* Social aspects of small group and leader behavior that are relevant to teams comprised of diverse members with competing interests but focused on a shared goal that is marked by the need for intense collaboration
* Advanced technology solutions that can be used by teams to manage aspects of a dynamic and chaotic problems
* Case studies of military operations, humanitarian assistance, or natural disaster response that speak directly to the nature of team operations and describe lessons learned in social and/or technology applications
* Social network analysis of a dissimilar team organized to confront a complex problem, with focus on divergence and convergence points, in order to advance understanding of intense collaboration processes that may be particularly amenable to technology solutions
* Measures of performance and measures of effectiveness that can be used to gauge leader and team behaviors and outcomes
* Live technology spaces that allow multi-media applications for distributed team members to meet in real time and share complex data, plan multiple projects, and understand social behaviors among team members
