EasyChair
EasyChair (German roughly: simple (conference) management ) is a free web- based system for managing scientific conferences . Developed in 2002 by computer science professor Andrei Voronkov for personal use, within a few years it became the most widely used conference management system in computer science and related areas. EasyChair is hosted on a server in the Computer Science Department of the University of Manchester , so organizing a new conference requires nothing more than filling out an application form.
