Dear Herbert,

Following the discussion at the last TC6 meeting in Cape Town, it would be nice to recommend a second software (besides the Confman freeware) to handle paper reviewing, and add a link to it on the TC6 web page.

The system is Cyberchair and the URL is: http://www.cyberchair.org/

CyberChair is used for the online submission and review process. CyberChair is -more or less- based on a paper by Oscar Nierstrasz, called 'Identify the Champion'. There is also support for the preparation of the proceedings (using the format required for Springer Verlag). CyberChair is continuously being updated to include new ideas, and suggestions by its users. The version that is currently available for download was introduced for ECOOP 2000.

CyberChair is free software (GNU General Public License).

Best regards, Guy

Dear Herbert,

After a short debate in our WG6.1, we would recommend the use of the Confman software to handle paper reviewing and selection for all TC6 conferences. [I mean recommend, not impose of course].

It may be a good idea to add a reference to the Confman web page http://confman.unik.no/%7Econfman/whats_new.html somewhere on the TC6 web page. For example with the organizers guidelines, or so.

Best regards, Guy

Dear Guy,

I noticed that AP55/38 indicated that you would send the Confman software to H.Leitold so that it can be available to conference organisers. Is it already done?

Thank you and best regards

Augusto
