As the amount of data we nowadays have to deal with becomes larger and larger, the methods that help us to detect structures in the data and to identify interesting subsets in the data become more and more important.

In the literature we can find a large variety of clustering algorithms, each having certain advantages but also certain drawbacks. Typical questions that arise in this context comprise:
