The purpose of this document is to outline the functional and non-functional requirements for the development of a paper conferencing website. The system is designed to facilitate the submission, review, and decision-making process for academic papers.
This system will provide a secure and user-friendly platform for program committee members to manage the paper submission and review process. Key features include user authentication, a dashboard for committee members, paper review interface, reviewer assignment, notification system, and decision-making capabilities.
The paper conferencing website is designed to streamline the conference paper submission and review process. It includes modules for user authentication, dashboard creation, paper review, reviewer assignment, notification system, and decision-making.
- Keynote speakers: Create a dedicated section on the landing page to showcase information about keynote speakers. Include a visually appealing layout with images, brief bios, and affiliations of each keynote speaker.
- Secure username/password for program committee members.
- Role-based access control to restrict unauthorized access to the review interface.
- Display "invalid" error message on failed login attempts.
