Failure-aware kidney exchange

Proceedings of the fourteenth ACM conference on Electronic commerce, 2013
Algorithmic matches in fielded kidney exchanges do not typically result in an actual transplant. We address the problem of cycles and chains in proposed matches failing after the matching algorithm has committed to them. We show that failure-aware kidney exchange can significantly increase the expected number of lives saved (i) in theory, on random ...
