Arguing the discard of organs in CARREL
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 lower the level of discarded organs.

However, Alexis Carrel, a French-born physician–scientist and controversial historical figure, developed successful vascular suturing techniques that dramatically shifted the odds of life and limb salvage.

متن کاملTowards 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...
متن کاملIntegrating the Organ and Tissue Allocation Processes through an Agent-Mediated Electronic Institution
In this paper we present a first approach to the formalization of Carrel, a virtual organization for the procurement of organs and tissues for transplantation purposes, in order to model the allocation processes of organs and tissues in a integrated way. We show how it can be formalized with the ISLANDER formalism. Also we present a first mechanism to federate the institution in several geograp...
