The Conference Engine (CE) is an integrated on-line registration system, website generator, financial accounting, typesetting and publication facility. The strongest side of CE is abstract submission system that combines ease of a Word-like abstract editor with full automation of the paper processing system.
With CE we provide complete service, with hardware and software bearing entire electronic traffic related to the conference organisation, participant and abstract registration, payment processing and publishing of the conference materials with unique ISBN number assigned.
Nowdays, the CE is the most developed and widely used electronic service for scientific conferences available. Although being used on all continents, it is most popular in Europe and Poland, where it came from in 1998.
The conference website with on-line registration can be opened same day. CE is optimised for huge conferences (unlimited number of participants), however special sponsorship programme is available for small low-budget meetings too.
CE generates professionally looking conference website (seeexample), set of on-line registration forms, maintains the conference database and automatically typesets ready-to-print Book of Abstracts (seeexample). Abstract acceptance and correction tools, mass-mailing communication, post-conference electronic Journal (seeexample) and many other services are available.
Conference Engine consists of eight logical modules:
Conference website editor allows for quick change of conference website from any location using standard web browser. Work may be distributed among people, so several co-organisers edit different sections of the webpage at the same time. Access to various parts of the document (e.g. symposia sub-pages) may be arbitrairly granted, which enforces smooth team-work and clearly defines responsibility ranges.More info...
On-line participant registration is done by on-line forms that allow to enter information related to participant and his/her affiliation(s).
Participant's registration forms are intuitive and lead to enter correct data. Underlying scientific database simplifies registration since user is prompted to pick ready answers from list rather than to enter several times the same data (e.g. name of institution).More info...
Abstract submission is the most demanding task in the registration procedure. Author uses dedicated on-line abstract editor, similar to MS Word. He/she may change abstract many times, from any place, with a standard web browser. Author is offered with a great degree of editing freedom, however, the Organisers and the publisher define a common format in order to provide consistent appereance of all abstracts submitted. Upon pressing of "Save" button, the abstract is immediately processed by the Conference Engine that checks and automatically corrects the abstract according to the format requested.
Two types of abstractsstandard andrich are available. Standard abstracts allow for simple formattings only, while rich abstracts can containpictures, list, tables and more complex formattings. More info...
