“…In addition, the CfP holds the necessary information for the authors how to prepare and submit their publications. This includes the format, the maximum extent, the accepted types of publications (abstract, short paper, full paper, demo paper and so on) and a way to submit their draft papers (email address, postal address, URL for file upload or URL to the conference management system) [3,6]. For all accepted types of publications the CfP provides a submission deadline.…”

The management of scientific events is a prestigious job that goes together with many tasks that have to be carried out in a timely and highly parallel fashion. Conference management systems (CMSs) have simplified the process and have given decision-support features to the organizers but still there is room for improvements. With the social media movement of the last decade, computer-mediated social interactions and professional networking have also gained importance for scholars. Those interactions take place outside of CMSs. Thus, a rich source of information is ceded to social networking services that could be used for a better quality of service and more awareness support for all stakeholders in CMSs. In this paper we introduce ginkgo as a novel approach to scientific event management that brings together well-known features of classic CMSs with those of common features of social networking sites to make scientific event management more social and awareness supporting.
