Software:

Kidney exchange (both cycles and chains).  To use (i) one should have cplex and (ii) please cite Individual rationality and participation in large scale, multi-hospital kidney exchange” and Nonsimultaneous Chains and Dominos in Kidney Paired Donation – Revisited. The software either generates simulated patient/donor pairs as well as a compatibility matrix, or alternatively gets as an input such data. It finds an allocation that maximizes the number of transplants using cycles and chains each of a different bounded length. (Chains begin with non-directed donors.)
