Technical descriptionDC/ConfOrg proposes an electronic system to help in the organization of events like congresses or workshops. This automatic system has been developed in order to optimize the management of the scientific content of an event. It starts with the online registration of participants and finishes with the preparation of the proceedings in various formats (printed proceedings, Web site and CD-ROM), including the reception of authors' information, selection of papers by the scientific committee and online preparation of the programme of the conference. The complete system is available from a secured Internet connection. It makes easy the communication between all people who are related to the event: organizers, scientific committee, participants, authors. The first generation of this system has been developed 6 years ago in the frame of various conferences organized by the Société Française d'Acoustique (SFA). Consequently, the evolution of the functionalities of the system follows the real needs of conference organizers. The main functions of the system can be summarized in a few words as follows:
The link below gives an example of Web site generated by the DC/ConfOrg system for the Congress CFADAGA'04
(march 2004): Also note that the CD-ROM proposes exactly the same user interface and functionalities, and does not depend on the operating system (Windows, Mac, Unix, ...). In addition to these standard functions proposed by the system, an optional module can be added to manage the online registration of participants. Although clients often have already such a registration system, the DC/ConfOrg system is regularly chosen since it is directly related to the submission system. As an example, registered authors do not need to re-enter their personal information when they submit their abstract. The DC/ConfOrg registration system also generates badges and labels for mass mailings. General overview of the systemThe following diagram illustrates the different steps in time of the management of the scientific content using the DC/ConfOrg system:
