Description: The Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers is a technical conference      dealing in signal and image processing, communications, sensor systems, and computer      hardware and software. Sponsored by the Naval Postgraduate School and San Jose State      University, in cooperation with the IEEE Signal Processing Society, the conference is held      annually at the Asilomar Conference Facility in Pacific Grove, California. Although the      Asilomar Conference is oriented toward computers and new technology, it has yet to      exploit the full capabilities of the Internet. The purpose of this thesis is to: (a) Analyze the      processes involved in the Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, & Computers, (b)      Improve the article submission and review process, (c) Outline a target information system,      (d) Implement a portion of the target system. Two major portions of the target system are      implemented using an IBM compatible PC: (1) the ability for authors to submit abstracts      and summaries via the Internet, (2) to allow conference administrators to manage the      database via the Internet. Dynamic World Wide Web pages are created using Borland      Delphi as the programming base, O'Rielly's WebSite as the web server, and two Common      Gateway Interface elements for Delphi recently developed by Ann Lynnworth of HREF      Tools Corp. The portions implemented lay the foundation for a system that could      revolutionize the way conferences are conducted by unleashing the power of the Internet.
