IRSA: Indoor Residual Spraying Application

IRSA (Indoor Residual Spraying Application) assists projects in the collection and aggregation of data from remote field sites. Data for each day’s spraying, including details about each house spraying or the day’s spraying totals, is entered into the main form. Data is exported to a delimted text file, e-mailed to the main data center, and aggregated with other sites' data into an external MySQL database. Some modifications such as dropdown options may be made without the aid of a programmer. IRSA is a Java application built using the Eclipse RCP framework and the embedded Apache Derby database.
