Abstract
The GAMA platform supports simulation with a bottom-up design from an agent perspective using a BDI framework. This chapter proposes a design for implementing the AORTA framework for organizational reasoning in the GAMA platform to support combining a bottom-up BDI model with a top-down organizational model. In doing so also we contribute towards maturing organizational reasoning for engineering multi-agent systems. The contribution is twofold: an operational semantics of the BDI framework in the GAMA platform, and an extension of it with operational semantics of AORTA.
