Abstract :
Academic conferences provide a social platform for participants to present, learn and discuss about new and interesting findings of their research. Management of these conferences typically utilize Conference Management Systems (CMSs) to simplify its management. However, most CMSs lack the registration function, which is a key component apart from the submission and review process. We describe modifications of the popular OpenConf™ CMS to include participant registrations and payment acceptance. The process involves adding several new tables to the existing database structure, as well as to develop the new interface for the added functionality. The modifications are detailed in this paper.
