Description
Summary:Conference management system (CMS) is designed to help the conference committee manages a conference well.The CMS which is available in market nowadays provides a well managed pre-conference function such as paper reviewing, paper submission, and participant registration system.However, payment module is not given priority by the existing CMS. This study argues that the payment management is importance ant to simplify the payment process, avoiding the unpaid paper being published in the proceeding. Also the conference committee can easily calculate the conference profit when the event ends. However, CMS is inflexible handling certain cases such as in case authors are unable to pay the fee before the conference day but need to submit the camera ready.Hence, this paper attempts to explain the design of a flexible conference management system (f-CMS).f-CMS is developed using RAD approach. It also includes the registration module during conference day.This paper presents the review of literatures and the early stages of the development of f-CMS.
