AusWeb, Conference Management, Research Conferences, Community, Scholarly Publication, Australia
The AusWeb series of conferences commenced with AusWeb95. From its inception, the AusWeb series has used the Web to enhance the productivity of this research conference. End-to-end electronic submission, refereeing and publication has been employed. Publication of the proceedings on the Web and, with AusWeb99, pre-delivery to delegates of the printed proceedings has been designed to ensure that the delegates are fully briefed on the content to be discussed at the conference. The option to link web-based multimedia presentations to the formally refereed papers provides authors with the opportunity to expand upon, present updates and in general invite delegates to explore in greater detail the ideas and concept they are presenting. Conference sessions have been designed to maximise the time for the audience and to enhance interaction between authors, moderators and audience.
AusWeb has employed a single electronic authoring/multiple publication process: Web, paper and CD-ROM. This approach places constraints on the form and method of submission and publication but provides advantages in terms of time, cost and accuracy. Directions for the conference are discussed and readers are invited to contribute their ideas for AusWeb2K.
