Abstract

The Virtual Conference Generator (VCG) tool is part of a knowledge portal being developed by the Centro de Análisis de Imágenes Biomédicas Computarizadas (CAIBCO) at the Medical Faculty, Universidad Central de Venezuela. Targeted at the health sector, it is a content management tool focused on generating quality content while automating some operational tasks. It was developed to facilitate the interactive creation, management and publication of virtual conferences. VCG was an integral tool toward organizing a virtual conference held in July 2003 in the health sector, the "IV Congreso Virtual de Micología: Hongos Patógenos en América Latina" http://congresomicologia.ucv.ve Computer science students developed VCG using JSP technology, testing it on three different platforms, applying eXtreme Programming as an aspect of the evaluation process in an academic context.
