CalDAV Scheduling:

  • The CalDAV access protocol (RFC4791) is based on WebDAV and iCalendar standards

  • In the CalDAV scheduling specification (still a draft), users on the same server system only schedule with each other

  • There are several server and client implementations available

Realtime Internet Scheduling:

  • Allows scheduling between users on different server systems (e.g. between organizations)

  • The protocol uses HTTP to transport iCalendar scheduling messages

  • We will be demonstrating the basic exchange of scheduling messages

  • The security and discovery pieces are still to do (TC-REALTIME)

Freebusy URL:

  • This is a way to do simple exchange and publishing of freebusy information

  • TC-FREEBUSY is working on a specification

  • It uses simple HTTP GET/PUT operations with discoverability
