RESOURCE VALIDATION BASED EVENT SCHEDULING IN A SOCIAL NETWORK

Resource-validation-based event scheduling in a social network. A method identifies, based on activity in a social network, planning of an event. The method determines event parameters of the event, for instance by determining an anticipated number of attendees of the event, and profiling predicted attendees of the event to identify attendee preferences. The method solicits resource validation information from device(s) corresponding to resource(s) at a location for the event. The resource validation information indicates ability of the device(s) to support estimated resource consumption for each of the resource(s), the estimated resource consumption based on the determined event parameters. The method receives the resource validation information, and schedules the event based on the resource validation information.
