Abstract

We give a short overview of a prototype version of a fully distributed calendar and appointment system implemented on a network of workstations. We describe the software architecture, the appointment scheduling strategies and heuristics, the distributed implementation language, and the graphical user interface. The motivations for the realization of the system within a distributed systems research project are also discussed.
