Abstract
Ability of an organization to adapt to change is one of its important features. When a real-world organization is transformed into a virtual one, with a help of software agents and ontologies, it is important to specify how adaptability can be achieved. In our earlier work we have conceptualized, on a general level, adaptability in an agent-based virtual organization. The aim of this chapter is to discuss how agent adaptability can be implemented.
