Automated scheduling agents allow users to concentrate on productive tasks and to improve the quality of information processing. The author uses a distributed approach with intelligent agents to design and develop efficient meeting scheduling. The purpose of the project is to design and implement a software system that uses intelligent meeting-scheduling agents that can negotiate with other agents without compromising their user-specified constraints. A small group of researchers in our department runs the prototype system, and we are using feedback from them to improve the interface and to expand the functionality of the system
