We describe the theoretical aspects of the method in a limited space, present a few strategies of tweaking the clustering algorithm and compare them with existing solutions. The experiments show that the presented approach increases flexibility and effectiveness of the whole algorithm. %G English %Z TC 8 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01656257/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01656257/file/448933_1_En_17_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01656257 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01656257 %~ SHS %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC8 %~ IFIP-CISIM %~ IFIP-LNCS-10244
