Abstract
A conferencing system operable on a computer network includes a conference server that communicates with a conference host device that provides conference information to the conference server. A participant scoring engine, which may be part of a search engine, is in communication with a participant database. The participant database includes one or more attributes of available participants. The participant scoring engine (a) filters or ranks the participants based on the conference information provided by a conference host via the conference host device to the conference server, and by comparing the conference information to the one or more attributes of at least some of the available participants creates a filtered participant database that includes a subset of the participants in the database, and (b) determines a score for each of the participants in the filtered participant database, wherein the score is based on the conference information and the one or more attributes of each participant in the filtered database.
