Conference Service Mandl

The general workflow of a COMS assisted conference administration is as follows:

1 - The Chair configures COMS and assigns roles to the members of the Program Committee and to other assistants.

2 - Delegates register and submit papers.

3 - Optionally, Reviewers bid for papers.

4 - The Chair and Conference Administrtors assign papers to Reviewers. (COMS can do that automatically, based on Reviewers’ bids or if bidding is not used, COMS can distribute review tasks statistically.)

5 - Reviewers give their assessment.

6 - The Chair and Conference Administrators accept or reject submissions and notify Authors by bulk email.

7 - Optionally, Editors ensure a common style of all accepted submissions.

8 - Optionally, Authors of accepted papers upload camera-ready papers.

Throughout the registration process, Conference Administrators can monitor the progress of tasks and registrations. Data that are ascertained by COMS can be exported in a number of formats.

COMS can be used to record the payment or registration status of every participant and to communicate that status to the participants.

Conference Administrators can store notes to themselves with each of the registered COMS users that are not disclosed to delegates.
