The framework derived from the analysis of several web-based related applications. The framework is presents and the results are discussed.
Keywords: Conference Management, Web Application, System Framework
1. Introduction
Conference is a meeting for researchers to present, discuss, identify important problems and formulate future research direction on specific themes. It provides a true learning environment. However, organizing a conference entails plenty of time-consuming work. For instance, collecting paper submission from authors, assigning paper submitted to the reviewers, notifying authors about whether the paper submitted is rejected or accepted. These processes will surely consume a lot of precious time and complicated works if a conference is conducted manually. Unfortunately, there are no reports from literatures that are seriously looking in how to produce an efficient system in managing the entire process of conferences.
Lately, the need of systems for collaboration support has expanded, leading to their growing application in organizational, communication, and cooperation processes. Hence, various applications have been developed for conference organization to support or manage the workloads. The
