Abstract
Calendar data including meeting schedules for users may be received by a processing device. A set of user schedules for the users may be generated based upon the calendar data. Each user schedule may contain a set of timeslots that represent a time window and an indication of whether a meeting is scheduled. A first combined score for the set of user schedules may be calculated. One or more rescheduling moves for the scheduled meetings may be determined using a rescheduling rule. A second combined score may be generated based on the rescheduling moves for the set of user schedules. A determination may be made as to whether the second combined score is higher than the first combined score. One or more meeting updates to reschedule the one or more meetings for the users may be generated.
