MyConfree: a web-based conference management system

Abstract

Most research results are published in a conference as a scientific paper. Paper management in a conference comprises of a long and complicated process starting from call for paper until the publication of the conference proceeding. It also involves multiple parties, such as authors, reviewers, and committees. Futhermore, in a conference, there are many papers submitted by authors. Therefore, this final project has developed MyConfree, a web-based conference management system to facilitate paper management in a conference. MYCONFREE was developed using PHP programming language, Codegniter framework, and MySQL database. Hopefully, MyConfree is able to help users, because it provides features for paper management such as call for paper announcement, paper submission process, paper review process, author notification through email, and camera-ready version submission process. Moreover, MyConfree is an open-source licensed software.
