Abstract
An approach to providing a group alarm clock wherein the next group alarm is specified by a group member acknowledging a previous group alarm. The approach allows members to join a group alarm clock and provide alarm preferences to the group alarm clock. When the approach determines that the conditions of activating a group alarm are met, the group alarm is sent to the group members. The first group member to acknowledge the group alarm selects the alarm for the next round and is removed from the group. Iterations of group alarms continue until the group alarm clock no longer has any members.
