 F.A.Q.

 

 P1.2)

P1.1) I want to use Paperdyne for my conference. What do I need to do?

Please contact us to use Paperdyne.

We offer Paperdyne with full service, that means, that we will set up and host the system for you. This way you do not need to worry about setup details (setting up Linux, Apache, JBoss, Mysql, mail-system, Paperdyne and backup) and a maximum of security is guaranteed.

With the tool Paperdyne you have the total control about the whole process yourself. Our job is to setup a customized version of the system, that fits to your conference. The rest can be done via web interface by the PCC. But of course we offer all kind of support and consulting.

To set up the system for you we need:

1) The call-4-papers for your conference (or at least a draft with some details).

2) The url for the conference homepage. You should set up this page with some details about the conference.

3) An acronym for your conference. The subject of each Paperdyne e-mail will start with this acronym, such that users can better sort their e-mails.

4) An excel sheet with all reviewers. This sheet should at least have the columns "Firstname", "Lastname" and "E-mail" (E-mail is mandatory).

5) The names of all program committee chairs and their e-mail address. All PCCs will get full privileges for paperdyne, but only one person should act as "first PCC". We must know, who this first PCC will be.

6) A bulk e-mail address, where bccs of all Paperdyne e-mails are sent to. For small conferences, this can be the personal e-mail address of one PCC, but for larger conferences, the PCC might not want to be spammed by all Paperdyne e-mails. Here, a special conference e-mail address is recommended.

As soon, as we have information about 1) - 3), we can publish your conference on our Paperdyne website.

The url of your submission site will look like http://www.paperdyne.com/(acronym)(year).html. Please publish this url in your cfp and do not allow e-mail submissions. Of course you can handle e-mail submissions, but if you accept those, you will have a lot of extra work, because in e-mail submissions people usually forget to fill in some mandatory information.

We typically open the submission site 3 weeks before the submission deadline. Please don't get nervous, if you don't get submissions in the first two weeks, most authors will submit their paper exactly at the submission deadline.
