Description and History
JULIE provides tools to create surveys in an easy-to-read format, administer surveys to respondents via the internet or personal computer, and collect survey responses. Novice and intermediate users are provided a simple yet powerful survey language to build professional surveys. For power users, the framework provides a flexible and customizable environment for users because of JULIE's basis in the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern.
JULIE was created over the course of several years (2008-present) for academic research in stated preference surveys administered via the internet. Its initial purpose was to provide a framework with the following capabilities:
- Reusable and portable
- Flexible survey design
- Simple survey creation tool
- Can perform RP and SP surveys
- Can customize stated-choice games based on the user's responses
- Both web-based and in-person (computer-assisted) collection possible
- Stores responses in a database
The JULIE framework provides a system for creating surveys, displaying questions, controlling question flow, and storing responses. The basic premise is that JULIE displays a sequence of questions to the user, records his responses, and ensures that the responses are in the expected format (if any).
