This book focuses on partitional clustering algorithms, which are commonly used in engineering and computer scientific applications. The goal of this volume is to summarize the state-of-the-art in partitional clustering. The book includes such topics as center-based clustering, competitive learning clustering and density-based clustering. Each chapter is contributed by a leading expert in the field.
"The content of the book is really outstanding in terms of the clarity of the discourse and the variety of well-selected examples. ... The book brings substantial contributions to the field of partitional clustering from both the theoretical and practical points of view, with the concepts and algorithms presented in a clear and accessible way. It addresses a wide range of readers, including scientists, students, and researchers." (L. State, Computing Reviews, April, 2015)
