ConfSys2: an improved web-based multi-conference management system

This paper introduces ConfSys2, an improved web-based multi conference management and journal submission and publication system. ConfSys2 is and advanced redesign of ConfSys system, with additional features to help general chair, program chairs and program committee to manage the processes of academic conferences, and to provide conference related services for author and conference participants. The lessons learned from using ConfSys have been incorporated in Confsys2, which not only implements better user interface for Confsys's useful functions, such as automatically/manually allocating paper to reviewers, debating and rating paper, but also introduces new concepts, such as conference/journal series management, user-group-function management, and smart daemon in conference management to improve data sharing, reduce repetitive work and make management work more flexible.
