碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 資訊工程系研究所 === 98 === Easy Conference Management System (ezCMS) is a Web-based conference management system designed to offer conference managers configurable review processes, activities, form questions, and reports. The configuration parameters are specified through a user interface. Therefore, ezCMS can be easily customized without modifying source code. However, prior to this thesis, ezCMS was a prototype that had not hosted any real conferences. This thesis uses ezCMS as a case study to investigate what a real conference needs and how ezCMS can be extended to support them. There are lots of challenges. This thesis aims to use refactoring to improve the design of ezCMS, including system reliability, maximum load capacity, system performance and system response time, and eliminate bad smells so that the system functionality can be extended easily. The result of the improved ezCMS has been taken online and supported two conferences, APWCS 2010 and ICID 2010.
