Abstract
The paper describes WhatsOnWeb+, a search clustering engine that allows users to browse and analyze the results of a query by means of enhanced graph visualization techniques. WhatsOnWeb+ integrates a wide array of visual interfaces, animation and interaction functionalities, and clustering technologies. The effectiveness of the different visual interfaces and of the different clustering algorithms implemented in the system has been measured by means of an extensive experimental analysis. The described system represents a significant evolution of a previous clustering engine for the Web.
