Future plans

In the future doing further research could bring some insights.

The last prototype can be tested and improved in terms of looks and design. The current prototype was focussed on functionality and usability. The current prototype can be expanded with all the necessary features to function properly.

A new paradigm of spreading responsibility and action needs to be evaluated. With this new paradigm, people can organise a meeting together. One person sets up a meeting and selects friends, other can add friends, add locations, add proposed meeting times and meeting names.

A focus on the application in a more professional setting could bring more insights. The focus would be on having a quick meeting with the people that know or need to know about a subject. They can be invited to a meeting in a matter of hours.

Focus on removing the need for meetings by spreading the information in an easy way. This is based on the assumption that some meetings are solely for sharing information in a team or between teams.

To automate the planning phase of a meeting is a difficult task. This is caused by several reasons: people do not have the required information ready in an approachable format, people do not want to share the information or people do not trust the automated process. This can be solved by keeping the user in control and give (automatically generated) suggestions.

The final decision making process could be improved. Sometimes people wait long or forget that they have proposed a meeting. More research could bring interesting solutions.
