The Web Based Meeting Scheduler
Abstract
In this paper I present a Web based Meeting Scheduler which is a web-based easy to
use group calendar application for scheduling events, reserving meeting rooms and
scheduling meetings. Meetings and events may be scheduled for invitees within an
organization as well as prospective customers and clients from outside the organization by
adding the following website (www.meetingscheduler.org) to the address bar of a browser.
Any user with an account on the system can choose a meeting date from the calendar
and provide the subject for the meeting, a description, the location and any specific
conference room information. A meeting may be set up for one or more dates and include
multiple time frames from available time slots. A user selects the attendees, enters the
RSVPs and sends the invitations to mail boxes with a verification link. A user may also
share files including the agenda with the attendees.
This Web Based Meeting Scheduler is developed on a modular Internet/Intranet
application framework. It features a scheduler, meeting calendar, messaging, an address
book, file upload and download and feedback. The system employs an easy to intuit
"wizard like" interface to encourage online collaboration.
