Conference Organizers: Enjoy fast, quality, program, abstract booklet, proceedings! All Free of Charge for NDT Events!
• Program Details of the Conference Management Server
The Conference Management Server (CMS) is a feature-rich conference management system that tries to accommodate the support needs of a range of very different conference configurations. The CMS serves as interface and controls the workflow for Authors, Administrators, Committee Members and Editors. In order to be flexible enough to be deployed efficiently in different scenarios. The Conference Administrator (Secretary or Chair) can configure CMS online and see the effects of any changes in real-time. Features or editing permissions can be set individually for members of the team (the committee). The final result of this online program is the technical conference program, abstract booklet and the electronic proceedings (CD/DVD, stick, Internet).
