Conference management software

[Conference packages] I run a peer-reviewed paper review for my graduate theory course. The students submit papers and I farm them out for review within the class. Students are graded on their own paper and on their own reviews of other papers. Later versions of hte paper are graded on their responses to the reviewers comments. I will soon install one of these packages to run the game.

... In the end, I went with Public Knowledge Project it has a few features that I don't need and the model of a conference flow is a little different from what I need. BUT, the install was a breeze. Note that you must have someone with an email address listed as the conference contact (see Main admin page -> People -> View/edit conference directors and contacts) or all mail will fail to be sent to reviewers authors etc. (because php mail will attempt to send with an empty from address)

It would be nice if...


  1. reviewers could self register
  2. all of the configuration options were a little more organized

The install was easy, beautiful, wonderful. Took very litte time.
