ABSTRACT
Many studies have proposed automated meeting scheduling using various approaches and constraints. To build an automated meeting scheduler, we need to examine which approach and constraints suitable for our needs. Unfortunately, we have not found any literature survey that specifically discusses automated meeting schedulers based on the approaches and constraints. To achieve our needs, we did a literature survey from three digital libraries, ACM Digital Library, IEEE, and Springers. We collected, selected, and classified papers in the last decade. We classified the selected papers using four criteria, expressiveness, privacy-preserving, architecture, and approach. Through this classification, we expect an overview of how existing automated meeting scheduling has been built. As a result, we found out that there are significant constraints such as time, priorities, location, and quorum. Privacy-preserving is considered by some studies. The drawback to privacy-preserving is the complexity increase. Even though the centralized architecture is less complex, the most automated meeting scheduler is built-in decentralized architecture. The automated meeting scheduler is mostly built using agent-based approach.
