An integrative approach to online conference review management : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Information System in Massey University

Academic conferences play an important role in modern science and technology development. They provide venues for people involved in particular research areas to communicate with each other, share research achievement, and understand the current leading edge of development in that area. They also provide opportunity to periodically summarise the past work and find new directions for future research. The peer reviewed conference papers become reference for other researchers. There are thousands of conferences organised all over the world every year. For each conference there are hundreds of paper submissions. The management of submission, review and selection process is a hard and tedious task for conference committees. This thesis discusses the design and implementation of a web-based application to facilitate an efficient and effective management of paper submission, review and selection process in academic conferences.[FROM INTRODUCTION

A Conference on the American Law Institute\u27s Proposed Restatement of Employment Law

In this volume, the Employee Rights and Employment Policy Journal presents the written reports of three working committees organized by the Labor Law Group on the American Law Institute’s Proposed Restatement (Third) of Employment Law, along with various written comments on and responses to these reports. These reports and comments were originally presented on February 7, 2009, at a conference on the American Law Institute’s Proposed Restatement (Third) of Employment Law held at the University of California – Hastings School of Law and co-hosted by the School of Law and the Labor Law Group. As the Chair of the Labor Law Group, it falls to me to provide the readers with some context on the working committees and their reports and the conduct of the conference. In this introductory essay, I will present a brief discussion of how the Labor Law Group came to appoint the working committees and undertake this conference with the law school, what we understand the American Law Institute (ALI) to be attempting to accomplish with its Restatement, what we are attempting to accomplish with the papers in this conference, and a brief summary of the working committee reports and conference comments on the proposed Restatement

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS IN THE UNITED STATES

In the Congress of the United States and the legislatures of the forty-eight states committees composed of a limited number of members play an important part and to a large extent the predominant part, in legislation both by making preliminary inquiries and by planning the detailed provisions of measures. While important changes are at times made in the general sessions, the final result is in a large measure determined by the several committees. In most American legislative bodies there are numerous committees of various kinds, such as select committees for limited special purposes, standing committees regularly appointed, conference committees, and other joint committees of both branches, and committees of the whole house; while from time to time special commissions are appointed, often including others than members of the legislative bodies, to carry out more extended inquiries and investigations of particular subjects
