Supporting decision making in organ transplanting using argumentation theory

چکیده
In this paper, we describe an application of argumentation theory in order to support decision making in a real world problem. In particular, we present an application of argumentation theory in order to support the decision of whether an organ is viable or not for transplanting. Our research is divided in two directions: the first one is related to manage the conflicts between arguments and the second one is related to the encoding of medical knowledge and the building of arguments from the medical knowledge.
