CSC365 Assignment 1

Requirements

• The program reads 10 web pages each from two or more different pre-defined categories. You can define the categories yourself. (Examples: "star trek fan sites", "java developer blogs", "information about south american rodents"). The urls for these web pages should be maintained in a control file that is read when the program starts
• For each category, the program maintains frequencies of words appearing in the web pages. (You can add any other collected information as well if you like.)
• The user can enter any other URL, and the program decides which category it best belogs in, using a similarity metric of your choosing, and further, recommends the most closely matching of the other known pages.

The presentation details are up to you. The implementation restrictions are:

• Use java.util.collections for all data structures. Read through the Collections tutorial first. Do NOT implement any collections yourself; use only the supplied ones.

• Use Swing components for the GUI. Read through the relevant parts of the Swing tutorial first.

• Use Java networking components for accessing web pages. See the Java networking with URLs tutorial

Test your program thoroughly before submitting, and arrange a demo within 48 hours of submitting. (Demoing before submitting is strongly encouraged.)
