CEUR make GUI - a usable web frontend supporting the workflow of publishing proceedings of scientific workshops

CEUR-WS.org is a widely used open access repository for computer science workshop proceedings. To publish a proceedings volume there, workshop organisers have to follow a complex, error-prone workflow, which mainly involves the creation and submission of an HTML table of contents. With ceur-make we had previously provided a command-line tool for partially automating this workflow. However, in a recent usability evaluation we confirmed that the tool is difficult to learn, highly dependent on other software, not portable and hard to use. We sought to solve these issues with a web-based user interface, which we present here. A usability evaluation of the latter proves significant improvements
