Common practice observed in a conference for judging the submitted papers is peer review. The most important task which is involved in peer review is assigning the submitted papers to reviewers with good domain knowledge. In this paper, we have used maximum topic coverage while assigning paper to reviewer and degree of freshness of reviewer. This results in a solution to the paper reviewer assignment problem with relaxed paper demand constraint and reviewer workload constraint. The problem goes into NP-Hard if the constraints mentioned above are not relaxed. We have tried to relax those constraints and bring our problem down to NP. The use of expertise degree can be seen in this paper, this helps us in finding the most relevant expert of a particular domain.
