A Tool for Web-based Management of Call-for-Papers

Said Nuh

AbstractIn this document we are going to identify and outline (and communicate) the purpose, requirements and context for a paper management service that is to be implemented in order to ease the task of managing and relaying Call For Paper documents between the participating entities in a conference.

The goal is to develop a tool that can be deployed as an intra- and inter-institutional application. The overall proposed system consists of a schemacentric language grammar that governs XML documents in an arbitrarily chosen dialect, a transformation vocabulary that is used to convert these documents into other formats: SQL, (X)HTML.

Other modules include a toolset that can be deployed to validate/generate documents in that grammar and a scalable document database. Some interfaces are devised to enable interaction:

 Mail: fetching and managing mail-repository at a remote server
 Web: submitting document by either uploading document or entering data into a web-form.
 Client: A preliminary local client has been developed earlier. Later remarks made by Chris suggested that further development of this client may not be worthwhile to pursue.
