Abstract
Coordination is one of the key functions of cooperative work and learning. Here cooperative calendars play an important role. So far, available calendar applications are based on client-server architectures where a central server manages the scheduling of cooperation partners. Unfortunately in ad-hoc (face-to-face) situations these infrastructures are often not available. The approach presented in this paper allows exploiting personal calendars of group members for supporting the search of concerted group appointments based on both classical infrastructures and ad-hoc-networks. It allows coordinating group activities without contacting central servers when no internet-connection is available. The paper focuses on our basic ad-hoc-based architecture and adapted visualization-concepts for cooperative calendars. Finally our working prototype is presented.
