Towards Formalising Agent Argumentation over the Viability of Human Organs for Transplantation

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.
