Welcome to imogene

imogene is an Open Source Rapid Application Development Studio for Data Collection Information Systems.

Through an Android client and a synchronization server, imogene offers the ability to quickly deploy a mobile information system. Thanks to its advanced features, imogene particularly fits for surveillance systems, where data needs not only to be collected but also to be regularly updated.

imogene is specifically designed for data managers who do not have advanced development skills but who need to quickly generate modern and efficient information systems. Because all functionalities implementation are provided through the studio, imogene users just need to focus on the data model creation to have their applications automatically generated.

imogene is basicaly a set of Eclipse plugin. It takes advantage of the code already developed in renowned existing open source projects like Spring, Hibernate, Apache Tomcat or Google Web tool Kit.

The generated Information Systems include the following functionalities:

Data collection:

• The data collection/consultation in mobile situations (create/search/update)
• The ability to collect data in connected or disconnected mode
• The data storage in a central relational database
• The automatic data synchronization between the applications running in connected/disconnected mode and the central database
• The collection/consultation/analysis of the data from anywhere via a Web interface.
• The collection, transmission and storage of binary data (photo, sound, video, etc)
• The use of bar code (including QR code)
• The acquisition of GPS coordinates

User Notification:

The ability to automatically send to users alerts or messages (SMS, Email or pop-up windows displayed in the web interface) when specific events occur in the system (alert a user when a given form is created, when x forms with a field having a given value are entered in the system, etc).

User privilege management:

The ability to manage user privileges based on users and roles associations.

Internationalization:

The ability to provide internationalized user interfaces.

Interoperability:

The ability to communicate with existing Information Systems. This interoperability is based on web services that enable communication between applications.

Remote update:

The IS applications are based on technologies and follow development standards that enable a remote update of the deployed applications.
