The principal objectives of this SBIR proposal are to design, code and market a computer software system permitting users of Java-enabled desktop computers to create professionally sophisticated questionnaires for on-line surveying via the World Wide Web. Innovative features include a platform-neutral questionnaire editing and data collection system, a graphical user interface enabling the design and editing of complex, WYSIWYG questionnaires, professional design features incorporating complex skips, on-the-fly calculations and dynamically embedded fills in the wording of questions and responses, a multilingual questionnaire editor based on Unicode, coupled with a server-side application to decrypt, analyze and publish statistical and graphical results to any location on the World Wide Web. Specific goals of this Phase I proposal include: (1) specifying program features, behaviors and controls, (2) defining objects and data structure of the questionnaire file, 3) designing menus, dialog windows and warning dialog schematics, 4) creating Java components for testing and validating key system elements and 5) drafting a preliminary user manual and Help file. This product has enormous commercial potential since it meets the growing needs of organizations involved in the systematic surveying of customers, employees and clients via desktop or Kiosks Internet computers worldwide. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: The proposed project will create a platform-independent software package for surveying respondents over the global Internet and corporate Intranets. In addition to its immediate use by social scientists and market researchers, schools, govt. agencies and corporate offices can use this system to evaluate classroom training, gauge audience response, gather program treatment data, as well as measure levels of customer and client satisfaction.

这项SBIR提案的主要目标是设计、编写代码和销售一种计算机软件系统，使支持Java的台式计算机的用户能够通过万维网为在线测量创建专业的复杂问卷。创新功能包括与平台无关的问卷编辑和数据收集系统、能够设计和编辑复杂的所见即所得问卷的图形用户界面、包含复杂跳转、即时计算和动态嵌入问题和回答措辞的专业设计功能、基于Unicode的多语言问卷编辑器以及用于解密、分析和将统计和图形结果发布到万维网上任何位置的服务器端应用程序。第一阶段提案的具体目标包括：(1)指定程序功能、行为和控制；(2)定义调查问卷文件的对象和数据结构；3)设计菜单、对话框窗口和警告对话框原理图；4)创建用于测试和验证关键系统元素的Java组件；5)起草初步用户手册和帮助文件。这种产品具有巨大的商业潜力，因为它满足了参与通过台式或信息亭互联网计算机对世界各地的客户、员工和客户进行系统调查的组织日益增长的需求。拟议的商业应用：拟议的项目将创建一个独立于平台的软件包，用于通过全球互联网和公司内部网对受访者进行调查。除了被社会科学家和市场研究人员立即使用外，学校、政府。机构和公司办公室可以使用该系统来评估课堂培训、衡量观众反应、收集计划处理数据以及衡量客户和客户满意度水平。
