Available statistics proves that most meetings scheduled without prior agreement among the involved members of an organisation suffer low turnouts. Moreover, highly ranked members with certain responsibilities in the organisation are known to have tighter schedules and should hence be given some considerations while scheduling meetings. The work entailed in this research is the design and implementation of a web-based Meeting Scheduling System tailored to address low turnouts in meetings. Design and Implementation of meeting scheduler is a web-based system that provides a platform where meeting proposals and agenda are published by the executive of organisation for timely and easy visualization by members of the organisation at remote locations. Besides, the system provides a mechanism that will enable the members to vote their favourable days and times for each meeting. The votes captured by the system are automatically assigned numerical values and are aggregated to realize the day and time that will yield the best turnouts. The designation weights of these members affect their vote scores. A working prototype of the system was achieved using a MySQL Database Management System (DBMS) for the data storage, PHP programming language for the system logic and control of information flow, HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and Cascaded Style Sheets (CSS) for the Graphic User Interface (GUI) design. This system will help organisation in ensuring active participation in its meetings.
