This increases a lot of effort and needs a lot of expertise and large numbers of people are required to manage all the proces s. This definitely is non an easy task. There is a lot of trouble involved in submitting a research paper to a conference and then sending it to a jury, for review and their comments.To speed up this process of conference management was our main focus in this project. 1. 3 Problem Solution This project will be a fine demonstration of efficient usage of technology and engineering in the clear- application increment field. This will cut down the organizing and maintenance cost of conferences and will also reduce the efforts of motive to send their research papers through post. This is done through creation of a conference management application that would assist the organizers to run their conference effectively.Our software product conference management system is designed and developed to provide the rigid solution for the handling of conferences. We have designed an interface that will provide the platform for the researchers and educationist to submit their research papers onl ine and it will be forwarded to jury for their review and comments. The system will help the users to create reinvigorated conference by providing the knowledge of the conference and the request will be forwarded to the decision maker for logicalation.The administrator domiciliate accept or reject the conference request and he will have to actority to delete the author if he is found doing illegal activity on the system. The chairman of the conference will add the political platform delegacy peniss to review the papers submitted in that conference. The chair usher out check the details of the paper submitted in the conference installed by him. The program committee member will be reviewing the conference for which he is selected by the chair to review the conference. The program committee can download the research paper for reading it so it can be reviewed in a better manner. . 1 Methodology To operate this software in a best possible way, the user should have some knowl edge of accessing internet and navigating the internet through any browser. He should be aware of how conferences are hosted and the working of organization that hosts the conference i. e. from submitting of paper, forwarding it to the jury, and then finalizing selected research papers. 1 scheme Interfaces As our system is completely an independent system in itself thus it does not require any away API or any interface for interaction with any former(a) system.It only interacts with the administrator and authors, but not with any other software component. 2 Interfaces Our system will interact with the user only through the well defined graphical user interface. Client master of ceremonies architecture will be required for supporting the application. Client Server Architecture A waiter is anything that has some resource that can be doweryd. There are Computer servers, which provide computing power print servers, which manage a collection of printers disk servers, which provide n etworked disk space and weave servers, which store web pages.A client is evidently any other entity that wants to gain access to a particular server. The interaction between client and server is just like the interaction between a lamp and an electrical socket. The power grid of the house is the server, and the lamp is a power client. The server is a permanently available resource, while the client is free to unplug after(prenominal) it is has been served. pic public figure 2. 1 Client-Server Architecture 2. 2 Technologies and Tools NetBeans NetBeans refer to both a platform framework for java desk gain applications,and an integrated development environment(IDE).The NetBeans IDE is written in coffee berry and can run anyplace a compatible JVM is installed, including Windows, Mac OS, Linux, etc. The NetBeans platform allows application to be developed from a practice of standard software components called modules. The NetBeans Platform is a reusable framework for simplifying t he development of coffee Swing desktop applications. Among the features of the platform are user interface management (e. g. menus, toolbars) drug user settings management Storage management (saving and loading any kind of data) Window management Wizard framework (supports step-by-step dialogs) NetBeans Visual Library Integrated development Tools adobe brick Dreamweaver Adobe Dreamweaver is the industry-leading web authoring and editing software that provides both visual and code- aim capabilities for creating standards-based websites and designs for the desktop, smart phones, tablets, and other devices. It is a site building and publishing tool reserve for intermediate to advanced users that allows you to create graphical interface and built-in advanced design and coding features.It enables use of basic coffeeScript without any coding knowledge. Integrating features of Adobe Dreamweaver are amazing it integrates with Adobes Spry Ajax framework and that makes an easy access to dynamically-generated content and interfaces. Adobe Dreamweaver is also integrated with Adobe Flash Professional, Fire plant life, Photoshop broad this lessens the amount of stages for making projects. Adobe Dreamweaver supports leading web development technologies such as HTML, XHTML, CSS, XML, JavaScript, Ajax, PHP, Adobe ColdFusion software, which make designing and development really magical.Powerful CSS tools do not need separate utilities, and reduce the need to manually edit CSS code in designing and developing websites. Adobe Dreamweaver is the best application for extension developers and web designers who design and put up websites. MySQL Mysql is a relational database management system (RDBMS) that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. The SQL phrase stands for incorporate interrogatory Language. Free-software- assailable source projects that require a full-featured database management system often use MySQL.For commercial use, seve ral paid editions are available, and offer additional functionality. Uses MySQL is a popular choice of database for use in web applications, and is a central component of the widely used LAMP web application software stackLAMP is an acronym for Linux, Apache, MySQL and Perl/PHP/Python. MySQL is used in some of the most frequently visited web sites on the Internet, including Flickr. com, Nokia. com, YouTube and as previously mentioned, Wikipedia, Google and Facebook. Glass Fish Server Glassfish is an open source application server project led by Sun Microsystems for the Java EE platform.The proprietary version is called Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server. Glassfish is free software. The latest version of GlassFish released is v3. 1. Other Java EE application servers JBoss AS weathervaneSphere AS WebLogic Server Apache Geronimo MODULE-2 JDBC/ODBC ODBC(Open Database Connectivity) is a standard software interface for accessing database management systems (DBMS). The designers of ODBC aimed to make it independent ofprogramming languages, database systems, andoperating systems. Thus, any application can use ODBC to query data from a database, regardless of the platform it is on or DBMS it uses.ODBC accomplishes platform and language independence by using anODBC driveras a translation layer between the application and the DBMS. The application thus only needs to know ODBC syntax, and the driver can then pass the query to the DBMS in its native format, returning the data in a format the application can understand. Java DataBase Connectivity, ordinarily referred to asJDBC, is anAPIfor theJava programming languagethat defines how a client may access adatabase. It provides methods for querying and updating data in a database. JDBC is oriented towards relational databases.A JDBC-to-ODBCbridge enables connections to any ODBC-accessible data source in theJVMhost environment. JDBC allows multiple implementations to exist and be used by the same application. The API provi des a mechanism for dynamically loading the correct Java packages and registering them with the JDBC Driver Manager. The Driver Manager is used as a connection factory for creating JDBC connections. JDBC connections support creating and executing statements. These may be update statements such asSQLs CREATE, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE, or they may be query statements such as SELECT.

It shows how processes operate one with other and in what order.It shows parallel vertical lines as different processes or obje cts that live simultaneously, and horizontal arrows as the messages exchanged between them, in the order in which they occur. The boxes across the top of the diagram represent the use cases, objects, classes, or actors. The dashed lines hanging from the boxes are called object lifelines, representing the life span of the object during the scenario being modeled. The long, thin boxes on the lifelines are activation boxes, also called method-invocation boxes, which indicate processing is being performed by the target object/class to fulfill a message.Messages are indicated on UML sequence diagrams as labeled arrows, when the source and target of a message is an object or class the label is the signature of the method invoked in response to the message. go through values are optionally indicated using a dashed arrow with a label indicating the return value. pic Fig 4. 1 Sequence Diagram for Login pic Fig 4. 2 Sequence Diagram for Sign Up pic Fig 4. 3 Sequence Diagram for My-Account Se ction pic Fig 4. 4 Sequence Diagram for Paper Submission pic Fig 4. 5 Sequence Diagram for Conference validation pic Fig 4. 6 Sequence Diagram to add PC member. pic Fig 4.

They are used to model the dynamic aspects of as system. They can also be used to model the flow of an object as it moves from state to state at different points in the flow of control. Activity diagrams commonly contain fork start & end symbol. pic Fig 4. 7 Activity diagram for Author pic Fig. 4. 8 Activity diagram for administrator Chapter-5 Design 5. 1 Technology SelectionWe are a part of a rapidly changing software industry. New and better softwares are created every day. The main purpose of the software is to provide comfort to its users and also to the other developers. Java Java Platform, Standard Edition or Java SE is a widely used platform for programming in the Java language. It is the Java Platform used to deploy portable applications for general use. In practical terms, Java SE consists of a virtual machine, which must be used to run Java programs, together with a set of libraries needed to allow the use of file systems, networks, graphical interfaces, and so on, from inside those programs.Java Development Kit jdk 1_5_0 it has been by far the most widely used Java SDK Sun contributed the source code to the OpenJDK. The Java Development Kit (JDK) is a Sun Microsystems product aimed at Java developers. Since the introduction of Java, it has been by far the most widely used Java Software Development Kit. A Java Development Kit (JDK) is a program development environment for writing Java applets and applications.It consists of a runtime environment that sits on top of the operating system layer as well as the tools and programming that developers need to compile, debug, and run applets and applications written in the Java language. A JVM can also execute byte code compiled from programming languages other than Java. Java was conceived with the concept of WORA write once, run anywhere. This is done using the Java Virtual Machine. The JVM is the environment in which Java programs execute. It is software that is implemented on non-virtual hardware and on standard operating systems.JVM is a crucial component of the Java platform, and because JVMs are available for many a(prenominal) hardware and software platforms, Java can be both middleware and a platform in its own right, hence the trademark write once, run anywhere. The use of the same byte code for all platforms allows Java to be described as compile once, run anywhere, as opposed to write once, compile anywhere, which describes cross-platform compiled languages. A JVM also enables such features as automated exception handling, which provides root-cause debugging informati on for every software error (exception), independent of the source code.A JVM is distributed along with a set of standard class libraries that implement the Java application programming interface (API). Appropriate APIs bundled together form the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Javas execution environment is termed the Java Runtime Environment, or JRE. Programs intended to run on a JVM must be compiled into a standardized portable binary format, which typically comes in the form of . class files. A program may consist of many classes in different files. For easier distribution of large programs, multiple class files may be incase together in a . jar file. JSP and ServletsA servlet is a Java programming language class used to extend the capabilities of servers that host applications accessed via a request-response programming model. Although servlets can respond to any type of request, they are commonly used to extend the applications hosted by Web servers. To deploy and run, the Apa che Tomcat Server may be used. It is an open source servlet container developed by the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Tomcat implements the Java Servlet and the Java Server Pages (JSP) specifications from Sun Microsystems, and provides a pure Java HTTP web server environment for Java code to run.Java Server Pages(JSP) is aJavatechnology that helpssoftware developersservedynamically generated web pagesbased on HTML,XML, or other document types. JSP may be viewed as a high-level abstraction ofJava servlets. JSP pages are loaded in the server and are operated from a structure special installed Java server packet called a Java EE Web Application, often packaged as a. waror. earfile archive. JSP allows Java code and certain pre-defined actions to be interleaved with static web markup content, with the resulting page being compiled and executed on the server to deliver an HTML or XML document.The compiled pages and any dependent Java libraries use Java byte code rather than a native s oftware format, and must therefore be executed within aJava virtual machine(JVM) that integrates with the hostoperating systemto provide an abstract platform-neutral environment. MySQL as a backend Features of MySQL 1. Speed Of course, the speed at which a server side program runs depends primarily on the server hardware. Given that the server hardware is optimal, MySQL runs very fast. It supports clustered servers for demanding applications. 2. Ease of use MySQL is a high- act, relatively simple database system.From the beginning, MySQL has typically been configured, monitored, and managed from the command line. However, several MySQL graphical interfaces are available as described below MySQL Administrator This tool makes it possible for administrators to set up, evaluate, and tonal pattern their MySQL database server. This is intended as a replacement for mysqladmin. MySQL Query Browser Provides database developers and operators with a graphical database operation interface. It is especially useful for seeing multiple query plans and result sets in a single user interface. Configuration Wizard Administrators can choose from a predefined list of optimal settings, or create their own. MySQL System Tray Provides Windows-based administrators a single view of their MySQL instance, including the ability to start and stop their database servers. 3. Cost MySQL is available free of cost. MySQL is a Open Source database. MySQL is part of LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP / Perl / Python) environemtn, a fast growth open source enterprise software stack. More and more companies are using LAMP as an alternative to expensive proprietary oftware stacks because of its lower cost, reliability, and documentation. 4. Query Language Support MySQL understands standards based SQL (Structured Query Language). 5. Capability Many clients can connect to the server at the same time. Clients can use multiple database simultaneously. You can access MySQL using several interfaces su ch as command-line clients, Web browsers. 6. Connectivity and security MySQL is fully networked, and database can be accessed from anywhere on the Internet, so you can share your data with anyone, anywhere.The connectivity could be achieved with Windows programs by using ODBC drivers. By using the ODBC connector to MySQL, any ODBC-aware client application (for example, Microsoft Office, report writers, Visual Basic) can connect to MySQL. 7. Portability MySQL runs on many varieties of UNIX, as well as on other non-UNIX systems, such as Windows and OS/2. MySQL runs on hardware from home PCs to high-end server. MySQL can be installed on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Red Hat Fedora Linux, Debian Linux, and others. We have maintained our database in MySQL that involves maintenance of information. 5. Database Design It is defined as centralized repository of information about data such as meaning, relationships to other data, origin, usage, and format. Our data dictionary is designed i n order to fulfill A document describing a database or collection of databases An integral component of a DBMS that is required to determine its structure A piece of middleware that extends or supplants the native data dictionary of a DBMS. The most challenging phase of the system life cycle is system design. The term design describes a final system and the process by which it is developed.It refers to the technical specifications that will be applied in implementing the candidate system. It also includes the construction of programs and program scrutiny. System design is a solution, a how to approach the creation of a new system. This important phase is composed of several steps. It provides understanding and procedural details necessary for implementing the system recommended in the feasibility study. Emphasis is on translating the performance requirements into design specifications. The first step is to determine how the output is to be produced and in what format.Samples of the output and input are also presented. Second, input data and master files (database) have to be designed to meet the requirements of the proposed output. The operational (processing) phases are handled through program construction and testing, including a list of programs needed to meet the systems objectives and to complete documentation. Finally, details related to justification of the system and an estimate of the impact of the candidate system on the user and the organization are documented and evaluated by management as a step toward implementation.The design approach that was suited for the project turned out to be object-oriented design. It creates a representation of the real world problem domain & maps it into a solution domain that is software. Unlike other methods, object-oriented design results in a design that interconnects data objects(data items) & processing operations in a way that modularizes information & processing , rather than processing alone. E-R diagrams represent the schemas or the overall organization of the system. In order to begin constructing the basic model, the modeler must analyze the information gathered during the requirement analysis for the purpose of classifying data objects as either entities or attributes, ? identifying and defining relationships between entities, ? naming and defining identified entities, attributes, and relationships, ? documenting this information in the data document. ? Finally draw its ER diagram. To accomplish these goals the modeler must analyze narratives from users, notes from meeting, policy and procedure documents, and, if lucky, design documents from the current information system. pic Fig 5. 1 Enhanced Entity-Relationship diagram. Chapter 6 Testing 6. Test Case and Design Software testing is a critical element of software quality assurance and the net review of specification, design and code generation . Testing of the software leads to uncovering of errors in the software and reveal th at whether software is functional and performance requirement are met. Testing also provides a good indication of software reliability as software quality as a whole. The result of different phases are evaluated and then compared with the expected results. If the errors are uncovered they are debugged and corrected.A strategy approach to software testing has the generic characteristics Testing begins at the module level and works outwards towards the integration of the entire computer based system. Different testing techniques are appropriate at different point of time. Testing and debugging are different activities, but debugging must be accommodating in the testing strategy. A strategy for the software testing must be accommodate low level tests that are necessary to verify that a small source code segment is performing correctly according to the customers requirement and that of developers expectations.Testing Objectives Testing is a process of executing a program with the i ntent of finding an error. A good test case is one which has a high probability of finding an as yet undiscovered error. A successful test is one that uncovers an as yet undiscovered error. Our objective is to design tests that systematically uncover different classes of errors and to do so with minimum amount of time and effort. Testing Principles All tests should be traceable to customer requirements. Tests should be planned long before testing begins. The Pareto dogma applies to software testing. Testing should begin in the small and progress towards testing in the large. Exhaustive testing is not possible. To be most effective, testing should be conducted by an independent third party. 6. 2 Testing Methods and Strategies Any engineered product can be tested in one of two slipway White-Box Testing Knowing the internal workings of a product, tests can be conducted to ensure that the internal operation performs according to specification and all internal components have b een adequately exercised.For testing our project, we have used the Black-Box testing methods, and a short description of this testing method follows Black-Box Testing Black box testing, also called behavioral testing, focuses on the functional Requirements of the software. It enables the software engineer to derive sets of input conditions that will fully exercise all functional requirements for a program. It is a complementary color approach to White-Box testing that is likely to uncover a different class of errors. Black Box testing attempts to find errors in the following categories Incorrect or missing functions Interface errors Errors in data structures Behavior or performance errors Initialization and termination errors.

Conclusion Softwares are making everyday life of humans being easier & faster.This type web-application shows How we can solve management problem? Hence, software is managing the record & database in behalf of humans. later on completion of this website, a uthors and administrator can now access the conferences and can submit the research paper of their interest field. It is aimed at improving the floor of the conference organizers by providing authors an opportunity to submit their papers. Thus it can manage the entire conference process related to paper submission, jury selection, and paper review, under the complete control of the administrator.In our project, we have used Mysql RDBMS for the creation, maintenance and use of the database. The user interface is designed using Java servlets, JSP using Netbeans IDE. We have defined two users for this system, author and administrator, each with their own access and rights and activities. This project allowed us to interact with JSP and servlets. We explored java database connectivity and also became familiar with requirements of a conference management system.
