Abstract: A method is provided for scheduling a meeting. The method includes receiving a request from an organizer to schedule a meeting, executing a constraint satisfaction algorithm to determine at least one meeting data set comprising a value for at least one variable in a set of variables. The meeting data set defines at least one of a proposed time, room or participants for the meeting. Executing the constraint satisfaction algorithm involves performing a backtracking search within a solution domain to determine the meeting data set for the set of variables that satisfies a set of meeting constraints. If no meeting data set is determined, the set of variables and the solution domain can be revised. A next backtracking search can be performed to determine the meeting data set for the revised set of variables in the revised solution domain that satisfies one or more of the meeting constraints.
