Abstract
A clustering method includes the steps of: creating a plant model in which connection relationships between a plurality of devices () forming a processing plant () and pipes () are represented by a graph showing a linking relationship between a node () and an edge (); setting, regarding the plant model, a cluster division condition; and performing, by a computer, the cluster division of the plant model by searching for an edge between the clusters in which modularity is further increased while the cluster division condition is satisfied.
