This paper introduces conex, a comprehensive web-based experiment management system, and discusses the requirements that motivated its development. Its strengths are the flexible, modular control flow editor, its powerful capabilities for importing and re-using a wide range of experiment templates, its data storage and retrieval features, and its groupware support. The system is targeted at behavioral researchers conducting empirical studies with web-compatible material and will realize its full potential when used by a community of researchers and for long-term experimental projects. The system is non-commercial and can be installed on any web server with Perl and MySQL access. An online demo is available at www.microworld.org.
