摘要： A processing device of an information processing system is configured to automatically determine availability status for multiple work stations of an enterprise by monitoring information technology resources associated with respective ones of the work stations. The processing device is further configured to generate availability indicators for the respective work stations based on the determined availability status, and to provide the availability indicators for presentation to one or more users. For example, the processing device may be configured to automatically determine availability status of the work stations by monitoring network ports associated with respective ones of the work stations, with a given one of the work stations being considered unavailable if the corresponding network port is in use and otherwise being considered available. The processing device may deliver the availability indicators to a client application running on a user device in order to facilitate user selection of an available work station.
