complexity of the refereeing process. The current version supports - management and monitoring of the programme committee;
- sophisticated and flexible management of the access of PC
members and referees to papers and conflicts of interests;
- automatic paper submission;
- paper assignment based on the preferences of PC members;
- list of the latest events;
- submission of reviews;
- sending email to PC members, referees and authors;
- monitoring email;
- online discussion of papers;
- the author response (aka rebuttal) phase, when the author can respond to the reviews;
- automatic preparation of conference proceedings
and many other features. In fact, EasyChair is flexible enough
to have been used for evaluating project proposals. Supported ModelsCurrently, EasyChair supports two models. - The standard model is intended for conferences having
a single programme committee. The papers are distributed among
PC members, normally based on their preferences.
- The multi-track version is for conferences such as IJCAI having
multiple tracks. Each track has its own programme committee and
one of 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,
she can choose to use anonymous submissions. In addition to the supported models, EasyChair may offer some other
features. For example, special features for multi-conferences
are under implementation for FLoC 2006. |
