Abstract
An event may be scheduled by establishing a connection between an event initiator and an automated scheduling agent, receiving an instruction from the event initiator to generate an event, interrogating the event initiator to identify one or more invitees for an event, referencing contact information for each of the invitees, using the automated scheduling agent to contact the invitee with a message that elicits invitee availability, using the automated scheduling agent to receive a response to the message that includes a set of two or more potential times for the event, relating the response of at least some members of the group that includes the invitee and the event initiator, and in response to relating the response from the more than two of the group, scheduling a event.
