confsys

 

 

ConfSys, is a complete conference management system with improved user interface and added functionalities. All users of the system are required to be registered in the system to use it. You need only one user ID and PW regardless of the number of events that you are participating in or the roles you have in any of these.

 

If you are not logged into ConfSys, you can only see public messages. Please Use the [Online Help] link to get context sensitive help.

 

 

  • You can change to any event(conference/journal) by clicking on the "Change Event" link.
  • You can return to the Homepage of the current event by clicking on the homepage link on the left in the menu area.
  • You can return to ConfSys home page by clicking on the [ConfSys] link in the right in the menu area.
  • If you have forgotten your user ID or PW, press the [Forgotten Password] link. You need your email address as registered in ConfSys.
  • If you are not a user of ConfSys, you can sign up by clicking on the "New User" link.
  • To become a ConfSys user requires TWO steps as follows:

 

Step 1:

  • Click on the "New User" and fill in your stable email address and submit it to the system.
  • The system will send you two emails to the address you have used above; one with the initial user ID and the other with the password. Note: Since the size of the email with the password is small, some public email system such as Yahoo may consider it as "spam". So if you get only one email, look in the spam folder.

 

Step 2:

  • Using the initial user ID and the PW sent to you, log in the system and update your profile and insert your interests under "My Account".
  • In updating your profile, you may change the user ID to a "net-name" of your choice(provided it is not taken and is not the acronym of any conference or journal managed by ConfSys).
  • Since the net-name is used by the system to associate comments etc, please do not choose a net-name that may identify you (e.g. your net-name should not be your name in any form).
  • Also, please indicate your interests from the current subject hierarchies. Please select all topics from the appropriate hierarchies.
  • Your interests information is required in case ConfSys needs you to review a paper or you are to be on the program committee.
  • ConfSys has an internal email function so it can be used to send internal mail for example to the administrator(admin). The complete record of all your communication is in this internal email box. For example, the email sent to you initially with the user id and password is in the Inbox folder of this email system. Any emails you send out is in the Sent Mail folder. One of the use is a possibility of "blind" communication between an anonymous reviewer and an author. This is useful for journal articles and helpful for conference paper where an author may occasionally need guidance or clear up some cryptic comments.

 

ConfSys is available for any academic meeting that you may be contemplating.
