In particular, the “Children in the Rectangular Forest” (CRF) canonical model is applied to meeting scheduling. By formalizing meeting scheduling within the CRF model, a generalized problem emerges that establishes a clear relationship with other spatiotemporal distributed scheduling problems. The paper also examines the implications of the proposed formalization to meeting scheduling negotiations. A protocol for meeting location selection is presented and evaluated using simulations.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/meeting-scheduling-assembles-children-in-the-rectangular-forest/}, }
