Traditional hot-desking is a method of office resource management where a single office desk is shared by multiple employees at different times, instead of each one being assigned an individual desk. Utilising the desks in this manner can reduce the size of the office by up to 30% 9. However there are numerous problems with the traditional approach, in particular with regards to desk personalisation, availability of preferred desks and the development of synergies between people doing similar work. The objective of this paper is to develop a smart hot-desking system that assigns temporary desks to employees in a way that takes into advantage personal preferences as well as spatial and temporal features in order to tackle the aforementioned issues and ultimately increase their well-being and productivity.
