Towards Formalising Agent Argumentation over the Viability of Human Organs for Transplantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe a human organ selection process in which agents argue over whether a given donor’s organ is viable for transplantation. This process is framed in the CARREL System; an agent-based organization designed to improve the overall transplant process. We formalize an argumentation based framework that enables CARREL agents to construct and assess arguments for and against the viability of a donor’s organ for a given potential recipient. We believe that the use of argumentation has the potential to increase the number of human organs that current selection processes make available for transplantation.

The proposed mode...

متن کاملArguing the discard of organs in CARREL
In this paper we introduce the use of Argumentation in an experimental Agent-mediated platform – named CARREL—in the field of organ transplantation. Our aim is to introduce the use of Case-Based Reasoning in Argumentation when an extraction team is about to discard an organ to learn about the process and if possible to suggest an alternative assignation. This is an attempt to use technology to ...
