Clustering is one of the most strong and important tools in many fields such as data mining, machine learning, and pattern recognition. These days, big data such as social data have attracted interest of many researchers because the data have many significant and useful knowledge implicitly. For finding such knowledge from the data, many clustering algorithms have been proposed with new methodologies such as noise rejection, EM algorithm, rough sets theory, co-clustering, network clustering, and cluster validity, and developed into various applications including text mining, community detection, recommendation system and so on. In this special session, leading-edge works of clustering and its fusion of other methodologies will be described and discussed.

IT convergence means manufacturing or creating smart and easy-to-use products or systems by combining IT and communication technologies in various fields of manufacturing and on-sites. In this session, we first introduce a smart mat system that combines sensors and communication hardware with hot water mat by developing a mobile application program that is used to control it. Next, in order to measure the safety of geotechnical structures at the construction site, we use various sensors and communication functions and propose a method of analyzing them using machine learning which is an artificial intelligence technique. Finally, we will present a mobile smart drawing editor that can input data directly during the field measurement for indoor interior.
