This work describes the conception, modeling and prototypical implementation of an agent-based
meeting scheduling system for mobile devices. This mobile agent system supports people on the move
to locate feasible time slots to meet with each other, using their mobile devices. It negotiates the
best suitable times integrating timetables and time preferences from the participants. Unlike to
current approaches, the negotiation of the meeting time is fully executed on mobile devices. First,
the basic prerequisites of meeting scheduling, as well as typical scheduling situations for business
and spare time life are identified. The scenarios are used to evaluate the current scheduling system
approaches, discussed in the second part of the work. Based on the results of the evaluation of the
current approaches, a new meeting negotiation system for mobile devices will be designed. As mobile
devices are limited in resources, the introduced protocol additionally allows to outsource the
complex part of the negotiation to a self-contained scheduling service. From the theoretical design,
a prototype based on the Android platform was implemented. Finally, the new prototype will be
verified against the business and spare time scenarios and future improvements will be discussed.
