This is the project submitted by Kevin Pulo and Garrick Welsh for the
Database Internals course in 2000 Honours at the Basser Department of
Computer Science at the University of Sydney, Australia.

It implements a general framework for spatial clustering algorithms,
some supporting material, and some implementations of clustering
algorithms, including k-means, the TB heuristic for k-medoids [1], and
the ECH algorithm [2].

It requires the LEDA library, which is non-free but binary libraries
for many platforms and architectures can be downloaded for
non-commercial use from http://www.mpi-sb.mpg.de/LEDA/


The source distribution contains the source code in the src/ directory.
The binary distributions contain binaries in the bin/ directory.
All distributions contain:
    This README file.
    The GNU General Public License in the COPYING file.
    A report describing the usage of the package, in PostScript format,
        in the report.ps file.
    Test input in the testdata/ directory.
