XML Retrieval with Results Clustering on Android

XML receives widely interests in data exchanging and information management on both traditional desktop computing platforms and rising mobile computing platforms. However, traditional XML retrieval does not work on mobile devices due to the mobile platforms limitations and diversities. Considering that XML retrieval on mobile devices will become increasingly popular, in this article, we have paid attention to the design and implementation of XML retrieval and results clustering model on the android platform, building on jaxen and dom4j, the XML parser and retrieval engine; furthermore, the K-means clustering algorithm. As an example of usage, we have tested the prototype on some data sets to the mobile scenario and illustrated the feasibility of the proposed approach. The model demonstrated in this article is available on the mobile XML Retrieval project website: http://code.google.com/p/mobilexmlretrieval/.
