A system for scheduling time intervals for a plurality of users comprises a database associated with one or more server means for storing a profile for each potential invitee of the system. Each invitee profile comprises user profiles that have information regarding available and unavailable times for that user and the electronic mail address for the user and resource profiles having information about the available times for a particular resource such as a room or equipment. A request generator connected over a network to the one or more server generates a request for allocation of a time interval for one or more of the plurality of invitees. The system then provides a busy time determination device that gathers the profiles for the plurality of invitees that were requested by the request generating means and that are available in the databases and determines whether those invitees are available during the time interval requested by the request generating means. For all available invitees, the electronic mail address in the profile is used to send each available requested invitee an invitation to attend at the requested time interval.

A meeting negotiation system provides a new approach to scheduling events by negotiating schedules while preserving privacy through a shared representation that separates the meeting negotiation from the meeting invitation. The negotiation system integrates all scheduling-related information such as times users can meet, location, etc. and reduces dependency on designations of time as free or busy by a potential meeting attendee. Consequently, the negotiation system enables time preferences richer than just free or busy, allowing potential meeting attendees to designate preference in addition to time available. The negotiation system supports annotations and comments as a discussion mechanism, giving feedback to the meeting scheduler before the meeting invitation is issued. Possible times provided for the meeting are provided in the form of a bounded negotiation; participants may select the best time for them to attend a meeting from the bounded negotiation. The meeting organizer finalizes the meeting time from the responses provided by participants.

A method for evaluating number of additional admissible calls for use in call admission control includes tracking a percentage of channel busy time and transmission time of downlink and uplink voice packets, receiving a call admission request, and calculating the number of admissible calls. The number of admissible calls is calculated based on a channel bandwidth requirement determined from the percentage of channel busy time and a voice packet queuing requirement determined from the transmission time of downlink and uplink voice packets. The call admission request is approved if the number of admissible calls is greater than one and rejected if the number of admissible calls is less than one.

A calendar of a calendar owner can be identified. The calendar can include at least one calendar entry. Each calendar entry can be associated with access restrictions specific to the entry and/or a type associated with the entry. An attempt from a non-owner to access the calendar of the owner can be received. A relationship between the non-owner and the owner can be determined, which is used to grant access privileges. A non-owner can be permitted to access/change the owner's calendar entries based upon comparisons of the granted privileges and the access restrictions. For example, when certain approved people view busy-time scheduled in a user's calendar, any non-important booked time can be shown as time availably for scheduling events with the user. When an approved person schedules a previously book time slot, and an owner agrees to this change, then existing appointments are automatically rescheduled/adjusted to avoid conflicts.

To efficiently detect, in an information processing system including a plurality of information processing apparatuses, an information processing apparatus in which an abnormality has occurred. For each of the information processing apparatuses, a detection apparatus stores a previously estimated average processing time per service for a plurality of services provided by the information processing apparatuses. Then, for each of the information processing apparatuses, by using communication packets acquired in a predetermined period, the detection apparatus computes the number of calling times when the services have been called, and computes a busy time, which is a total amount of time when transactions are performed. Thereafter, the detection apparatus judges that an abnormality has occurred in each of the information processing apparatuses, if a point corresponding to coordinate values indicated by the computed number of calling times and busy time deviates, beyond a predetermined criterion from a hyperplane indicated by the previously estimated average processing time per service, in a multidimensional space formed by coordinate axes indicating the number of calling times per service and also by a coordinate axis indicating the busy time.
