"Transplants involve many steps and many people to ensure a good result. We will focus on the management ofthe team that is going to make the surgical operation to implant an organ to a patient. When a suitable recipientis found, the hospital that is going to perform the transplant must organise all the necessary items to do it: findthe medical team and an available operation theatre. This task must be done in the very short period of timewhile the organ is in good conditions. The quick scheduling of the operation is essential to detect whether it ispossible to join all the necessary items or not. In the second case, the general transplant co-ordinator must beimmediately informed in order to find another patient in another hospital. We propose to use a multi-agentsystem to solve this scheduling task in a short period of time"
