Within these there appears to be some, limited, agreement on the core functionality of agents. However, when we come to multi-agent organisations, not only do many BDI languages have no specific organisational structures, but those that do exist are very diverse. In this paper, we aim to provide a unifying framework for the core aspects of agent organisation, covering groups, teams and roles, as well as organisations. Thus, we describe a simple organisational mechanism, and show how several well known approaches can be embedded within it. Although the mechanism we use is derived from the MetateM programming language, we do not assume any specific BDI language. The organisational mechanism is intended to be independent of the underlying agent language and so we aim to provide a common core for future developments in agent organisation. %@ 978-3-540-85057-1
