Software Agents for Meeting Scheduler

Each agent has its own capabilities to manage, negotiate and schedule tasks, meetings, events, appointments for its assigned user. In this multi-agent system, the agents coordinate their activities and negotiate on behalf of their associated users to find a solution that satisfies the users´ desires. A prototype is implemented and evaluation of preliminarily results is demonstrated
