The research introduces the need of using agent technologies in assisting and aiding the responsible parties and decision makers during the decision-making process in general and in the Human Organ Transplantation Management "HOTMS" domain in specific. The medical scenario is assumed to be a real application of a decision support system. The research proves that integrating agents with their various types, techniques and interaction abilities in decision support systems generally and HOTM systems especially, can provide a great support to decision makers and help them to make right decisions and solve problems in a highly advanced fashion. The research also introduces and studies precisely the main definitions and background of all the interdisciplinary related fields, like "Artificial Intelligence", "Agent Technology", "Intelligent Decision Support Systems" as well as the Human Organ Transplantation Management System, in order to point to the significance of using the multi-agent technology during the HOTMS. From one side, the main contribution was represented by introducing the Human Organ Transplantation Management System Structure for the particular case of Egypt. While from the other side it also contributed by introducing, explaining and presenting the proposed Multi-Agent Human Organ Transplantation Management System architecture with its various proposed agent types and roles integrated in the HOTM System. It is assumed that the system will be of great help on the national level as well on the regional level as the HOTMS is considered now one of the most important services to be provided by the government and which has been recently on the spot for development and establishment.
