Bhattacharyya}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Clustering algorithms help to understand the hidden information present in datasets. A dataset may contain intrinsic and nested clusters, the detection of which is of utmost importance. This paper presents a Distributed Grid-based Density Clustering algorithm capable of identifying arbitrary shaped embedded clusters as well as multi-density clusters over large spatial datasets. For handling massive datasets, we implemented our method using a 'sharednothing' architecture where multiple computers are interconnected over a network. Experimental results are reported to establish the superiority of the technique in terms of scale-up, speedup as well as cluster quality.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {9}, year = {2008}, pages = {3126 - 3136}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/5572}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/21}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 21, 2008}, }
