Thanks to its flexibility, EasyChair has been used for:

1. Evaluating project proposals
2. Teaching students paper writing and peer reviewing
3. Generating program Web pages for very large conferences

Supported Models

Currently, EasyChair supports two models:

1. The standard model is intended for conferences that have a single program committee. The papers are distributed among PC members, normally based on their preferences.
2. The multi-track version is for conferences that have multiple tracks. Each track has its own program committee and one or more track chairs. This model requires a "superchair" to monitor or supervise the work of the tracks.

For each of the supported models the users can choose among various options to adjust the system to their requirements. For example, they can choose to use anonymous submissions.
