Abstract

Processors are configured to analyze message text content to determine whether the text content proposes a meeting event at a specified location and a specified time. In response to determining that the text content proposes said meeting event, processors determine whether a meeting is possible at the specified location and the specified time as a function of forum availability. In response to determining that the meeting is possible, some processors generate a confirming appointment message comprising text content that identifies creation of a meeting event at the meeting place at the specified location and at the specified time. In response to determining that the meeting is not possible, processors create an alternative meeting proposal message that includes alternative text content, including an alternative, different location or an alternative, different time.
