Automated calendar management is a rich, complex problem involving a wide-range of research topics. Below is a short list of issues we are thinking about.

  • Automated Negotiation: Managing asynchronous information exchange
  • Scheduling/Optimization: Incremental, continual scheduling under dynamic conditions
  • User Adaptation: Learning and using ill-structured user preferences
  • Learning: Improving scheduling through logging and analyzing past negotiations
