Introduction
Event Organizer is a software for arranging scientific conferences and
it is developed by
Relatech Oy.
The goal of the student software project Abstract was to create
a web interface for the abstract handling part of the software.
Project Mission and Goals
The abstract reviewing process in academic conferences decides whether the
abstract (also referred as proposal) gets accepted to the conference or
not. Academic researchers, often located all over the world, sent their
proposals to the scientific committee for reviewing. This scientific
committee distributes the proposals to reviewers for their verdicts,
grades, topic suggestions and remarks. After the reviewers have done
their work, the scientific committee will give the final verdict,
the grade, the topic classification and remarks. In other words the
reviewers will give their opinion how good is the proposal and by
using that information scientific committee makes the final decision
on whether the abstract will be part of the conference or not.
The goal of the Abstract software project was to built a web interface to
this abstract handling.
Tools and Software
The project used the following tools:
Oracle development tools,
TOAD (Tool for
Oracle application design)
and SQL*NET for PL/SQL coding, database handling and connection,
Oracle SQL server for Windows on Relatech's server and
HTML 3.2 standard for web pages.
