The ConfWareTM
online system has modular structure, so it is
easy to switch on/off a module when you configure your system.
|
Forms do not need to be filled simultaneously, each can be opened
individually, and after filling and submission, they will be stored in
the our database. Forms can be reopened, modified and partly erased.
Afterwards, participants are able to continue filling in forms, the
system indicates the yet empty ones.
- Personal data
The first-time users must register with their personal data for use the
online system. The registration form contains name, affiliation, postal
address and other contact data. The valid e-mail address is necessary
for the authentication process. The registered users can enter to the
system with their individual login/password pair.
- Registration
category
Participation fee categories can be set in
this module according to the payment's timing (earlybird/late/on-site)
and the title of the participant (academic/industrial, member/non
member, student, accompanying person). The time-dependent categories can
be closed via the administration module.
- Abstract submission
Essential module of scientific conferences. The online abstract
submission system allows the selected reviewers to judge abstracts
online, without time and geographical bounds. The form contains the
title of the abstract; the names and affiliation of the authors; the
chosen topic (or section); abstract type (oral/poster); keywords and the
selection of required technical equipments for oral presentations
(computer projector, overhead projector). After the submission of an
abstract, participants are able to upload a summary of the presentation,
in the required format, to our web server. However, it is possible to
upload the text of the presentation straight into the form's appropriate
field, but only ASCII characters are allowed. Furthermore, if needed,
the system provides facilities for uploading the full paper, CV or
photos.
- Accommodation
Offers selection from the list of accommodations tendered by the
organiser. Multiple rooms can be chosen from the same and/or different
hotels. Participants are able to choose room type (single/double, extra
suits e.g.: Danube view) and give the arrival and departure date.
Payment terms can be configured from the administration side. The module
handles room sharing, also, due to the contingent management, it
automatically removes the sold out room types from the selectable
accommodations.
- Social Programmes
A list of the optional programs, given by the organisers. Applicants
are able to choose the suitable ones and determine the participation
rate.
- Accompanying persons
Naming accompanying persons. They pay accompanying participation fee.
- Lunches
Through the system it is possible to order lunches, filtered by day and
category (e.g.: vegetarian), which are offered by the organiser, but not
included in the participation fee.
- Transfer
The system accepts transfer claims. Arrival date, time and flight number
can be given (e.g.: Budapest-country transfer for foreign
participants).
- Registration fee
Organisers are able to define limitless number of payment categories
according to the payment's timing (earlybird/late/on-site) and the title
of the participant (academic/industrial, member/non member, student,
accompanying person).
- Payment
On
the payment form, participants can check the summed price of the chosen
services. Here, an alternate billing address and the paying method can
also be specified. On the form, every necessary information can be found
for a bank transfer transaction.
In our system, there is a
possibility of online credit card payment. In this case, after the
necessary verifying, the transaction takes place immediately. Both the
organiser and the participant receives an e-mail about the result of the
transaction. Right now the ConfWareTM system accepts 2 online payment
method: CIB Bank
eCommerce and PayPal.
- Administration
Administrators and Scientific/Organising Committee members (with
multiple authority options), through this module, are able to monitor
participation, abstract submission, reservation, payment and reviews
online, by checking the appropriate lists. Several system options can
also be configured through this module. In addition, it offers mail
merge options, therefore e-mails can be sent to participants in any
subject and to presenters about review results.
- Review system
Reviewers, through secure, password protected internet connection, are
able to rate presentations and later make final decision. After the
review period, organisers of abstracts, which are classified in
categories, will receive a system generated e-mail about the results.
The wording of the mass e-mails can be personalized by category.
- Scientific program management
Ranked presentations can be scheduled through the Internet by
authorised session managers and scientific committee members. Succession
can be modified any time, the system monitors the scheduling, so daily
time limit will not be exceeded.
