Reorganization in Multigent Systems is aimed at providing support to dynamically adapt the structure and the behaviour of organizations. Current reorganization approaches are mainly focused on providing reorganization solutions that take the benefits of the future organization into account but that do not include the impact of the reorganization costs in the process. Therefore, the costs for achieving future instances of an organization cannot be computed until the reorganization process ends. Organization transition provides a paradigm for relating two different instances of the same organization at different moments. In this paper, we provide a Reorganization Facilitator Service that implements a cost-aware reorganization mechanism that is based on organization transitions. This service provides the associated costs for transition from a current organization to a future organization and the sequence of steps required for this transition. The paper also presents two different examples of organization transition in order to illustrate the use of the proposed service.
