iChair is a powerful submission/review server software designed to help the program chair of a conference with
submission collection, assignments of articles to reviewers, review collection, discussions, mailing, ...
iChair was developed with a view to being as easy to install as possible. As a result, installation on a Linux
box should be possible by anyone (even with only basic knowledge of server administration) in about one or two
hours. It might even be possible to run it on a windows based server (but this was never tested). It was developed
in PHP5 and intended to run on an apache web server.
