In this paper, we present a conceptual model and the associated framework that can be used to model and implement MASs simulation beised on a core concept: the Role. We especiedly assume that collective agent structures, such as groups and organizations gain to be represented through the concept of Role. We first provide a formed specification of the role concept. Then we show how this concept can be used favorably to consider collective organizations. The resulting model supports dynamic knowledge chcinges such as orgcinization emergence, disappearance and transformation. It also provides an interesting issue to allow the definition of macroscopic simulation levels, by not considering the underlying agents' orgainization composing some given collective orgcinizations. To illustrate our purposes, a simulation system in ecological phenomena simulation realized in cooperation with the CIRAD has been investigated. An implementation has been realized into the Geamas platform with the Java language.
