Zusammenfassung:	Methods and systems for scheduling include receiving a plurality of scheduling requests for events, where each of the scheduling requests includes a list of invited individuals. An optimization problem is solved based on the set of scheduling requests, a set of available times for respective invited individuals, location information for the respective invited individuals, a set of possible locations, and a set of available vehicles. Times and locations are scheduled responsive to respective scheduling requests based on the solution to the optimization problem and invited individuals are assigned to vehicles, if said invited individuals are in locations other than a respective scheduled location, to provide transportation for each invited individual to and from the scheduled location.
