Recent research on social and organisational aspects of multiagent systems has led to practical organisational models and the idea of organisation-oriented programming. These organisational models help agents to achieve shared (global) goals of the multi-agent system. Having an organisational model is an important advance, but this model needs to be integrated to an environment infrastructure and agent-oriented programming platforms. The JaCaMo platform is the first fully operational programming platform that integrates three levels of multi-agent abstractions: an agent programming language, an organisational model, and an environment infrastructure. In this paper, with the aim to help showcase the advantages of a fully-edged multi-agent platform, we have modelled a concrete agent-based architecture to proactively supply knowledge to knowledge-intensive workows using JaCaMo.
