Abstract
Presented herein are techniques associated with proactively scheduling shared resources or responsibilities among multiple users. In one example a method is provided that may include sharing masked calendar information between a first device of a first user and at least one second device of at least one second user based on the first device being proximate to the at least one second device; identifying a conflict involving use of a shared resource at a particular time; comparing first priority metadata for the first user and second priority metadata for the at least one second user; and assigning the use of the shared resource to one of the first user or the at least one second user based, at least in part, on determining that the first user or the at least one second user has a highest priority for use of the shared resource.
