ConfMaster develops from ConfMan, a conference management
system designed and implemented mainly by Ketil
Lund, P?l Halvorsen and Thomas
Preuss between 1997 to 2000.
ConfMan is a web based manager for conference
organization and includes features for paper
registration, an online meeting for program committee
members, registration of conference participators and
some administration tools for the conference
organization committee.
ConfMan is based on MSQL and Lite. It was installed
more than 200 times and probably used at more than 300
conferences. However, the technological basis of ConfMan
becomes more and more outdated. The last version of
ConfMan (1.6.5) was released on 2000/09/06. To get more
information about ConfMan, please, visit the ConfMan
website.
In 2003 ConfMaster was released by Thomas
Preuss, one of the "fathers" of ConfMan. Design and
major parts of implementation was done by Bastian B?ing.
ConfMaster is faster, more robust and more scalable than
ConfMan.
