A Novel Approach for Web-based Conference Management System

Abstract

In the last few years, several Web-based conference management systems have been developed and used by many international conferences. However, almost all of them were built on stand-alone Web servers. Their fault tolerance, scalability and ability of responding to dispersed users are limited. Aimed at addressing these problems, this paper presents a novel approach for webbased conference management system, whose fault tolerance, scalability and ability of responding to dispersed users are greatly enhanced by Service Oriented Architecture, that aims to achieve interoperability of remotely or locally located homogeneous and heterogeneous applications byutilizing reusable service logic.
