Abstract

Meeting scheduling is an everyday task which is iterative, time-consuming, and tedious. Furthermore, it is a naturally distributed task where all attendees try to schedule a common meeting (their group goal) taking into account their individual preferences (their individual goals). In this paper, we present our preliminary work towards this direction; we view meeting scheduling as a distributed task where each agent knows its user's preferences and calendar availability in order to act on behalf of its user. Our experiments investigate how the calendar and preference privacy affect the process efficiency and the meeting joint quality under different experimental scenarios. The results show that the group performance is more stable and constant when agents try to keep their calendar and preference information private. We believe that these parameters play a key role in the non-centralized meeting scheduling task, specially if we are interested in building truly autonomous and independent agents.
