Applications (continued)

· Calendar management

o Automatically adding events to a users calendar

o A protocol for scheduling meetings

§ “meeting proposals” and “meeting acceptances” templates

§ Proposal templates are sent until a time is decided upon

§ The system facilitates this process in several ways

· All messages of a certain type may be resent to someone else (e.g. all proposals can be sent to a person’s secretary)

· Helps construct replies to these messages

· Theoretically, the system could automate the entire process by simply using the user’s calendar

· Project management and task tracking

o Helps keep track of what projects have been assigned to whom

o The system facilitates the use of a middle man between the head of project or task and anyone wanting to get in touch with that person through the addition of several new templates and response actions
