Summary

The Social Science History Association (SSHA) is an interdisciplinary group of scholars that shares interests in social life and theory; historiography, and historical and social-scientific methodologies. The SSHA holds an annual conference and publishes academic papers. The web application they currently use to manage the paper submissions for their conference does not meet their requirements.

Scope

The scope of the project is to redesign and implement an improved conference management web application based on established work flows from the organization and feedback from key stakeholders.

Technical Summary

The team may choose Java, .NET, or PHP for server side development and any javascript library for the client side (JQuery, etc..,). HTML and CSS will also be used.
