Frequently Asked Questions
A comprehensive guide to the infrastructure, performance, and governance protocols of the IGERS platform.
Is IGERS engineered for large-scale symposia?
Yes. Our proprietary engine is optimized for high-density traffic, performing significantly faster than standard PHP/MySQL implementations. We have successfully managed conferences with over 5,000 submissions, handling peaks of 6,000+ daily sessions.
What are the platform's network capabilities?
We utilize a 1Gbps backbone, allowing us to accept over 300 standard-sized submissions per second. This high-throughput infrastructure easily handles large-format uploads, including high-resolution video presentations.
What is the guaranteed uptime?
IGERS maintains a verified uptime of 99.99%, operating 24/7/365 to ensure global accessibility for authors and reviewers across all time zones.
How is institutional data protected?
We utilize real-time database replication across three geographically distributed backup servers. In the event of a primary server disruption, we can facilitate near-instantaneous data recovery.
Can the platform be tailored to specific models?
IGERS is highly modular. Chairs can adjust configurations for submission types, review protocols (single/double/triple-blind), and proceedings generation at any stage of the conference lifecycle.
Is non-English content supported?
The platform utilizes full Unicode support, allowing research data to be stored in any language (Chinese, French, etc.). While primary navigation instructions are currently in English, a multi-language UI is under active development.
Account Creation
Accounts are managed globally. Once created, a single profile can be used for multiple conference roles (Author, Reviewer, or Chair).
Hosting Protocol
IGERS is a managed web service. We do not support local installations to ensure the highest standards of security, performance, and automated updates.
Agile Updates
We utilize a continuous deployment model, integrating system enhancements and security patches several times daily without service interruption.
Enterprise Support
Dedicated helpdesk support and custom feature implementation are available for our premium institutional partners.
