It's already vastly faster than it used to be, and has several bits of cleverness that were long overdue. This week we stress-tested it on 400 papers, and it came through like a champ. It even has an intelligent bidding interface! It will do your bidding. It will do our bidding. We will do your bidding. Bidding, bidding, bidding.Shriram Krishnamurthihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02956763366608000839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36038562.post-59856614729355156892007-06-08T07:56:00.000-04:002007-06-08T07:56:00.000-04:00I too have heard good things about Continue.

It is unclear from the Continue web site what (if any) business model they follow, but it doesn't seem that a pay-per-use system is going to work when the competition is free and the incentives for using good software are low. If they were trying to make money they might do better contacting the big professional organisations and arranging some kind of bulk deal, or perhaps they should target professions that have larger conferences and more money than CS (e.g. anything medical).Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09666551093622614632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36038562.post-73612563974088753092007-06-08T01:15:00.000-04:002007-06-08T01:15:00.000-04:00You should use the Continue Conference Management ...You should use the <A HREF="http://continue.cs.brown.edu/" REL="nofollow">Continue Conference Management Server</A>.
