Abstract

In this work we have used Artificial Intelligence techniques to ease the management of hospital teams for organ transplants. We have designed and implemented a multi-agent system that provides a fast mechanism for having an operating theatre and a transplant medical team ready when an organ to be transplanted arrives to a hospital, thereby avoiding potentially fatal delays due to any mistake in the management of the necessary items for the operation. The experimental results made in the laboratory have been successful, both in the response time of the system and in the quality of its performance.
