Abstract

The management of personal and shared schedules is limited by the lack of flexibility of time management services. Online calendar managers fail to support reasoning about time and multi-user activities. Task schedulers fully control the temporal allocation of events without involving their users in decision making. As an attempt to address such issues, this paper presents a mixed-initiative scheduling model supporting interactive calendar management. Our model is applied in MARA (Mixed-initiAtive calendaR mAnager), which enables users to solve scheduling problems by incrementally exploring the solution space.
