摘要：A computer-implemented technique is described herein that assists an end-userin setting up an event that involves a set of participants. The technique identifies a
proposed time slot that satisfies two objectives. First, the time slot satisfies participant-related constraints pertaining to the event. Second, the time slot satisfies a targetobjective that is defined as a function of target calendar occurrences of a particular kind,as measured across all of the calendars of the participants. The computer-implementedtechnique has the effect, upon repeated scheduling of events, of defragmenting thecalendars with respect to target occurrences that appear in the calendars. In oneimplementation, the target objective is a free-time objective, and the technique operatesby favoring the introduction of large free-time blocks of minimum size (e.g., two-hourblocks), and disfavoring the presence of smaller-sized free-time blocks scattered amongevents.
