Abstract

This paper explores the interplay of multiagent systems (MAS) with the Web to identify research challenges related to the governance of Web-based MAS. We first consider as a case study the process for allocating donated bodily organs to potential transplant recipients. We then discuss candidate architectures for governance in Web-based MAS that would support this scenario, from which we derive several research questions that emerge in pursuing the aim of agents on the Web.
