Abstract

A method, computing device and computer program product are provided to establish and maintain resource availability. Methods may include generating a representation of a resource availability schedule including at least one resource entry, where each resource entry includes a resource identification, a date, a location, a start time, and a finish time. Generating the representation may include: dividing the availability for each resource for each date and location into at least one continuous time period of availability, where no continuous time period of availability for a resource is represented by more than one resource entry; and generating a resource entry for each continuous time period. Methods may include: processing a request to schedule a resource, the request including a requested resource identifier, date, start time, finish time, and location; identifying a resource entry corresponding to the request; and modifying the resource entry to remove the time period of the request.
