Abstract
Equivalence classes are used to determine how groups of call participants are distributed among remotely situated conference rooms. A roster of conference call participants is distributed for display by communication devices the participants bring to a conference room. The distributed roster contains at least one indicium by which the possession of an attribute, by any conference call participant in a room can be confirmed by other conference call participant(s) using a communication device. After entering a room, at least some participants use a communication device to access the roster and indicate, to a server, that at least one other participant on the roster possesses an attribute of significance to conduct of the call. Participants are assigned to groups and the groups are merged based on the presence of participants possessing an attribute or set of linked attributes. The server assigns the participants to respective groups for selective treatment.
