- Abstract
- A computerized system was implemented at the National Bureau of Standards, Center for Building Technology for the purpose of managing information for the CIB 10th Triennial Congress. This system assisted the Congress director and the various committees in monitoring responses to Congress announcements, call for papers and registrations. This paper discusses the various technologies investigted, constraints and requirements considered in the development of the system, and the operating environment. The development and computeriation of the system will benefit future Congress directors and committees by describing the system as well as to facilitate the transfer of information in computer readable form.
