Tadej Škvorc (2015) Conference paper scheduling tool. EngD thesis.
Abstract
Organizing academic conferences is a time consuming task. Conference organizers can currently use a small number of software tools that allow managing the paper review process and manual construction of the conference schedule. We present an innovative web application for conference organization support that can automatically assign papers into predefined schedule slots instead of requiring the program chairs to assign them manually. To achieve this functionality we have developed a method that uses clustering algorithms to first group the papers into clusters based on similarities between them and then assigns them into schedule slots. The user gets access to a visualization of the schedule and is able to experiment with various parameters of the method.
