Abstract
A method and system for optimally scheduling a web conference managed by a web application. Date and time ranges are initialized with predefined values. A tentative start date included in the date range and a tentative start time included in the time range are automatically calculated, and are included in a tentative schedule for the web conference. A time period is determined by the tentative schedule and a duration of the web conference. The automatic calculation prevents the time period from overlapping a time interval during which processors utilized by the web application are to experience a peak load. The tentative schedule is presented to the user via the interface, and is recalculated and redisplayed in response to the user updating a load-related parameter. The user selects a final schedule, which is the tentative schedule or a user-specified schedule different from the tentative schedule.
