eMarX ‐ Extending functionality in ROSI with UTM web applications

As a part of the NGSIS initiative, the University of Toronto Mississauga has been collaborating with the development of an application that will extend the functionality of ROSI using one of the UTM web applications (Electronic Marks Submission). The new project is called eMarX and it will use direct ROSI access to provide immediate and improved services to all students, faculty and staff.

This project will develop the standards, procedures and polices for accessing ROSI (or the future NGSIS) and the joint development, enhancement and maintenance of all student services by EASI and any University unit that develops and maintains technical services.

• Running as a portlet on Liferay.
• To implement rich user web application.
• On an enterprise platform using SOA.
