Abstract
An automated contiguous space identification feature for businesses is provided. Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system of converting the value assigned to a work space in a coordinate system from an absolute position value to a unique relative position value. Such conversion enables identification of contiguous work spaces present within a defined area. An embodiment can be implemented via a stand-alone computing system or such a system interconnected with other platforms or data stores by a network, such as a corporate intranet, a local area network, or the Internet.
