Embodiment Construction

[0017] Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for event scheduling conflict management and resolution of unprocessed events in a collaborative computing environment. According to embodiments of the present invention, pending events may be considered for conflicts when scheduling new events. In this regard, pending events may be considered for conflicts and potential conflicts may be raised for the end user's attention before accepting invitations to new events. Likewise, open events can be considered for conflicts, and potential conflicts can be raised for the end user's attention, before an invitation to a new event is issued. In this way, not only scheduled events that have been processed will be considered with regard to conflict management and resolution, but also planned but still unscheduled events may be considered.

[0018] In illustration, FIG. 1A depicts an exemplary invite processing user interface configured for ...

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to meeting time conflict management and resolution in a C&S system and provide a method, system and computer program product for event scheduling conflict management and resolution for unprocessed events in a collaborative computing environment. In one embodiment of the invention, a method of event scheduling conflict management and resolution for unprocessed events can be provided for a collaborative computing environment. The method can include proposing a new calendar event for a specified time slot not already scheduled for a processed calendar event, identifying an unprocessed, unscheduled, proposed event conflicting with the specified time slot, and prompting for conflict resolution of the conflict.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of collaborative computing, and more particularly to event scheduling conflict management and resolution in a collaborative computing environment. Background technique [0002] For decades, calendar management systems have formed a core component of personal information management software and firmware applications. Originally a calendar-only display, modern calendar management systems offer scheduling and alarm clock functionality in addition to full integration with contact management, time entry, billing, and project management applications. A typical calendar management application minimally provides mechanisms for scheduling events to occur at a certain time of day. In general, an event can be associated with a textual description of the event. More advanced implementations also allow for the association of scheduled events with specific contacts, specific projects, or both. Additionally, most calendar...
