會議的安排是件冗長又乏味的事情，在電腦化時代之前都要有專人來安排會議，以人工的方式搓商每個人的時間，在這過程當中往往會因為時間上的衝突而找不出最佳的開會時間，使得會議的安排成為一個棘手的問題。因此，利用資訊科技來支援會議協商排程系統便應運而生。本研究提出一個以軟體代理人為基礎的研究架構，來解決會議排程上的問題。透過軟體代理人可以使整個會議安排的流程自動化－代理人為完成某一特定任務的軟體程式、自動且無休的協調與合作之技術，使組織內的電腦能確保資訊交換的一致性、正確性和時效性。本研究所提之架構將依會議召集人為主軸，針對會議召集人所提供的時間優先考量，其次才按會議核心人物的時間來做排程。此架構解決過去會議排程研究未將組織納入考量的問題，且適用在階層式組織，最終的目的是要協調出有利於會議召集人的最佳開會日期與時間，並使會議的核心人物能出席此會議。
