The detection of common and distinctive topics within a document set, together with the generation ofmulti-document summaries, can greatly ease the burden of information management. We show how this can be achieved with a clusteringalgorithm based on fuzzy set theory, which (i) is easy to implement and integrate into a personal information system, (ii)generates a highly flexible data structure for topic analysis and summarization, and (iii) also delivers excellent performance. %Z %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-72665-4_41 %+ %^
