The Joint Accelerator Conferences Website (JACoW) Collaboration has developed a Scientific Programme Management System ( SPMS) based on Oracle and a number of software packages.

The system is designed to manage all contributions to a conference programme, from abstract submission through to the production of proceedings.

An interesting and unique feature of SPMS is the development of two modules:

• an affiliations module, containing affiliation data: addresses of laboratories, universities, institutes carrying out activities in the field of accelerator technology, and
• a profiles module, containing profiles of individuals active in the accelerator community, populated with data derived from PAC and EPAC conferences in recent years.

In future, when submitting a contribution to a conference, the system will "recognize" a contributor or owner of a profile, and propose relevant data taken from that individual's profile, avoiding tedious and repetitive data entry for conference contributors, and extensive verification for organizers.
