From the reviews: "This edited volume is dedicated to the arena of clustering, classification and visualization. ... This edited volume is a collection of selected papers presented at two joint German-Japanese symposia on data analysis and related fields. ... Each paper starts with an abstract followed by a reasonably good introduction and the usual contents as expected in a research paper, and end with a conclusion and references. ... Seemingly, the target audience may be ... group of people doing research in these areas and libraries." (Technometrics, Vol. 52 (1), February, 2010)
