Clustering methods are very useful in many fields such as data mining, classification, and object recognition. Both the supervised and unsupervised grouping approaches can classify a series of sample data with a predefined or automatically assigned cluster number. However, there is no constraint on the number of elements for each cluster. Numbers of cluster members for each cluster obtained from clustering schemes are usually random. Thus, some clusters possess a large number of elements whereas others only have a few members. In some areas such as logistics management, a fixed number of members are preferred for each cluster or logistic center. Consequently, it is necessary to design a clustering method that can automatically adjust the number of group elements. In this paper, a k-means based clustering method with a fixed number of cluster members is proposed. In the proposed method, first, the data samples are clustered using the k-means algorithm. Then, the number of group elements is adjusted by employing a greedy strategy. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed clustering scheme can classify data samples efficiently for a fixed number of cluster members.

Data filtering is an essential task for improving the energy efficiency of radiofrequency identification (RFID) networks. Among various energy-efficient approaches, clustering-based data filtering is considered to be the most effective solution because data from cluster members can be filtered at cluster heads before being sent to base stations. However, this approach quickly depletes the energy of cluster heads. Furthermore, most previous studies have assumed that readers are fixed and interrogate mobile tags in a workspace. However, there are several applications in which readers are mobile and interrogate fixed tags in a specific area. This article proposes a model for dynamic clustering-based data filtering (DCDF) in mobile RFID networks, where mobile readers are re-clustered periodically and the cluster head role is rotated among the members of each cluster. Simulation results show that DCDF is effective in terms of balancing energy consumption among readers and prolonging the lifetime of the mobile RFID networks.

This study proposes an innovative measure for evaluating the performance of text clustering. In using K-means algorithm and Kohonen Networks for text clustering, the number clusters is fixed initially by configuring it as their parameter, while in using single pass algorithm for text clustering, the number of clusters is not predictable. Using labeled documents, the result of text clustering using K-means algorithm or Kohonen Network is able to be evaluated by setting the number of clusters as the number of the given target categories, mapping each cluster to a target category, and using the evaluation measures of text. But in using single pass algorithm, if the number of clusters is different from the number of target categories, such measures are useless for evaluating the result of text clustering. This study proposes an evaluation measure of text clustering based on intra-cluster similarity and inter-cluster similarity, what is called CI (Clustering Index) in this article.

공간 색인의 하나인 그리드 파일은 공간 데이터 영역을 격자 형태의 셀로 분할하여 구성하는데 특히, 셀들의 크기가 모두 동일한 값으로 고정되어진 것을 고정 그리드(fixed grid)라고 한다. 셀들의 크기가 고정된으로 인해 샐 분할선 상에 객체가 존재하는 경우가 자주 발생하게 되고 이러한 객체들은 하나 이상의 셀에 의해 중복으로 참조된다. 중복 참조 객체는 1/10 시간을 증가시켜 질의 처리 시 성능 저하의 주요한 원인이 된다. 따라서 중복 객체를 효율적으로 처리 할 수 있는 클러스터링 알고리즘의 고안이 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 중복 참조 객체를 처리하기 위한 객체 클러스터링(Object clustering)과 셀 단위로 클러스터하기 위한 셀 클러스터링(Cell clustering) 알고리즘을 구현한다. 그리고 공간 질의 수행 시에 각 클러스터기법들에 대한 성능을 평가한다.

One of the most important problems in cluster analysis is the selection of variables that truly define cluster structure, while eliminating noisy variables that mask such structure. Brusco and Cradit (2001) present VS-KM(variable-selection heuristic for K-means clustering) procedure for selecting true variables for K-means clustering based on adjusted Rand index. This procedure starts with the fixed number of clusters in K-means and adds variables sequentially based on an adjusted Rand index. This paper presents an updated procedure combining the VS-KM with the automated K-means procedure provided by Kim (2009). This automated variable selection procedure for K-means clustering calculates the cluster number and initial cluster center whenever new variable is added and adds a variable based on adjusted Rand index. Simulation result indicates that the proposed procedure is very effective at selecting true variables and at eliminating noisy variables. Implemented program using R can be obtained on the website "http://faculty.knou.ac.kr/sskim/nvarkm.r and vnvarkm.r".

본 논문에서는 첨도가 추가된 뉴우턴법의 고정점 알고리즘에 의한 독립성분분석을 제안하였다. 여기서 첨도의 추가는 유사한 속성을 가지는 성분의 군집화된 분석순서를 얻기 위함이고, 뉴우턴법의 고정점 알고리즘은 성분의 빠른 분석과 우수한 분석성능을 얻기 위함이다. 제안된 독립성분분석을 500개 샘플을 가지는 6개의 혼합신호와 $512\times512$ 픽셀을 가지는 8개의 혼합영상의 분리에 각각 적용하여 실험한 결과, 제안된 기법은 항상 일정한 분석순서를 유지하여 기존의 기법에서 알고리즘의 수행 때마다 랜덤하게 변하는 분석순서의 제약을 해결할 수 있었다. 특히 군집화의 속성을 가진 제안된 독립성분분석은 신호나 영상의 분류나 식별에도 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

WSN은 센서 노드에 의해 구성된 네트워크로, 센서 노드는 한번 배치되면 재충전하거나 위치적으로 재배치가 불가능하다. 또한 센서노드들은 제한된 에너지를 가지고 통신에 참여하게 된다. 그러나 기존 제안되었던 클러스터링 기법들은 불균일한 분포로 배치된 WSN환경에 적용 시 지역적 특징으로 통신 단절이 발생되는 문제점으로 네트워크의 신뢰성에 문제점을 갖는다. 따라서 제안 알고리즘에서는 WSN환경에서 센서노드의 불균형 배치를 고려해 센서필드를 분할하고 분할영역의 센서노드 밀집도에 따라 고정, 정적, 동적 클러스터링 알고리즘을 선별적으로 적용함으로 센서노드의 통신 참여율을 25% 향상시켰다. 그리고 전체 네트워크 생명주기는 14%연장하여 네트워크의 신뢰성을 보장하였다.

K-means is a popular and efficient data clustering method that only uses intra-cluster distance to establish a valid index with a previously fixed number of clusters. K-means is useless without a suitable number of clusters for unsupervised data. This paper aimsto propose the Group Search Optimization (GSO) using Silhouette to find the optimal data clustering solution with a number of clusters for unsupervised data. Silhouette can be used as valid index to decide the number of clusters and optimal solution by simultaneously considering intra- and inter-cluster distances. The performance of GSO using Silhouette is validated through several experiment and analysis of data sets.

Splitting tensile strength (STS) of high-performance concrete (HPC) is one of the important mechanical properties for structural design. This property is related to compressive strength (CS), water/binder (W/B) ratio and concrete age. This paper presents a clustering-based fuzzy model for the prediction of STS based on the CS and (W/B) at a fixed age (28 days). The data driven fuzzy model consists of three main steps: fuzzy clustering, inference system, and prediction. The system can be analyzed directly by the model from measured data. The performance evaluations showed that the fuzzy model is more accurate than the other prediction models concerned.

A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is composed of several sensor nodes which are severely restricted to energy and memory. Energy is the lifeblood of sensors and thus energy conservation is a critical necessity of WSN. This paper proposes a clustering algorithm namely Energy Efficient Trustworthy Clustering algorithm (EETCA), which focuses on three phases such as chief node election, chief node recycling process and bi-level trust computation. The chief node election is achieved by Dempster-Shafer theory based on trust. In the second phase, the selected chief node is recycled with respect to the current available energy. The final phase is concerned with the computation of bi-level trust, which is triggered for every time interval. This is to check the trustworthiness of the participating nodes. The nodes below the fixed trust threshold are blocked, so as to ensure trustworthiness. The system consumes lesser energy, as all the nodes behave normally and unwanted energy consumption is completely weeded out. The experimental results of EETCA are satisfactory in terms of reduced energy consumption and prolonged lifetime of the network.
