JACoW/SPMS Conference Database Management SoftwareNovember 18, 2004 Matt Arena, Fermilab7 Repository Database Maintains consistent user profiles –Name, , mailing address, etc. –Affiliations Provides “starter” data for conferences Supports multiple, simultaneous conferences Repository admin. controls affiliation data –Institutions –Countries –Regions

JACoW/SPMS Conference Database Management SoftwareNovember 18, 2004 Matt Arena, Fermilab8 Conference Databases Maintained by each conference site Synchronizes with the repository Accepts abstracts, authors, etc. Automatically organizes posters into sessions by classification Users upload electronic documents Editor interface for paper processing Status log throughout a contribution’s “life” Generates proceedings (Perl, XML & LaTeX) utilities Extensive online reports and statistics

JACoW/SPMS Conference Database Management SoftwareNovember 18, 2004 Matt Arena, Fermilab9 Technical Specifications Oracle 9iR2 – standard edition PL/SQL – main CGI interface One set of source code scripts –Repository DB –Conference DB –Standalone mode JavaScript for HTML form validation Perl scripts for file upload and download Perl script and XML used to generate LaTeX scripts that, in turn, generate printed proceedings

JACoW/SPMS Conference Database Management SoftwareNovember 18, 2004 Matt Arena, Fermilab10 Registration Module Generic –Field definition –Web page build on field definitions Used for the last JACoW Team Meeting Under development –Data extract for payment –Budget reports

JACoW/SPMS Conference Database Management SoftwareNovember 18, 2004 Matt Arena, Fermilab11 Electronic Documents Independent of Oracle and SPMS Files uploaded via HTTP to any server, anywhere Perl scripts provided – but not required by SPMS –File uploads by authors Accepts required parameters Uploads file Returns to SPMS with required parameters (or error message) –Editors’ interface Download source & supporting files Upload final PDF

JACoW/SPMS Conference Database Management SoftwareNovember 18, 2004 Matt Arena, Fermilab12 Configuration Nothing is “hard coded” System parameters interface (70 parameters) –Abstract submission (enable/disabled/frozen) –File uploads (enable/disable) –Various informational URLs (help, legal notices) – configuration (SMTP, contacts) –Script and file locations –Formatting options (program codes, dates, CSS) –Images (logo and dots) –Post conference (SPIRES, OAI exports)
