Enabling engineering document in mobile computing environment

A multi-level hierarchical content organization and on-demand delivery framework is presented in this paper. This framework enables engineering content representation and exchange in mobile computing environment. Engineering documents generated by CAD/EDA software are transformed into XML based vector graphics format, decomposed and organized into a semantically grouped hierarchical structure. The client selectively can download and render the decomposed contents based on various rules. The evaluation shows that the proposed framework increases the reliability of content exchange and improves the user-application experience
