Abstract: A computer implemented method for scheduling a meeting includes receiving a set of input parameters as meeting constraints. The meeting input parameters include a meeting organizer attendee identifier and multiple additional meeting attendee identifiers, a duration of the meeting, and a time frame within which to schedule the meeting. Calendar data is accessed from one or more servers storing calendar data corresponding to the organizer attendee and the meeting attendees based on the respective identifiers. The accessed calendar data is processed against the received set of input parameters to identify candidate meetings. In response to no candidate meeting matching all the input parameters, at least one parameter is automatically adjusted, and new candidate meetings are identified. Candidate meeting suggestions are communicated to a meeting organizer.

Abstract: Event workflow management in computing systems are disclosed herein. In one example, a process includes receiving a data package defining an event containing data representing a category corresponding to a type of activity of the event and having a workflow property. The process can then include creating or modifying a backend workflow of the event corresponding to the workflow property of the category and monitoring for the one or more status conditions of the event included in the backend workflow. When the monitoring indicates that the one or more status conditions of the event are satisfied, the one or more actions in the sequence of the backend workflow are executed in relation to the event.

Abstract: A computing device includes a processor and associated memory. The processor is configured to execute a personal information management service stored in memory to send a first calendar entry for display on a calendar interface for a user. The first calendar entry is for a first account of the user of a first domain. The processor sends a second calendar entry for display on the calendar interface. The second calendar entry is for a calendar of a second account of the user of a second domain. The processor receives a request for an availability of the user from a requesting user having a third account of the first domain. In response to the request, the processor sends to the requesting user the first calendar entry including first calendar entry details, and the second calendar entry without second calendar entry details.

Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for providing cross-domain access to calendar availability are presented. A request to schedule an event may be received. The request may comprise an identity of an organizer user account, the organizer user account associated with a first domain, and an identity of an invitee user account, the invitee user account associated with a second domain. An importance level of the organizer user account to the invitee user account may be determined. A determination may be made as to whether the organizer user account has access to events in an electronic calendar associated with the invitee user account based on the importance level. One or more events that the organizer account has access to may be surfaced in an event scheduling assistant user interface associated with the organizer user account.
