Abstract: Organizations involving multiple agents require adaptation mechanisms to guarantee robustness, especially in critical domains. This paper presents an organizational template to aid analysis and design of organizations with adaptation mechanisms based on dynamic role reallocation. The adaptive organization model can be used both for qualitative and quantitative domains, as is shown in two application cases made to evaluate the applicability of the model.
