Abstract. This research aimed to build information systems and database of colonial architecture to strengthen the data center of architecture, which can be used for reconstruction of heritage building. Information system database of colonial architecture utilizes knowledge-based system on the historical of colonial architecture, where attributes of colonial buildings are classified and represented in the knowledge tree and utilizes best first search techniques to data retrieval. The result is that the location, the period historical of the colonial architecture, the building function, the building styles (image) all can be used to feature information architectural elements of building character from the colonial building requested.

In recent years, two new data clustering algorithms have been proposed. One of them isAffinity Propagation (AP). AP is a new data clustering technique that use iterative message passing and consider all data points as potential exemplars. Two important inputs of AP are a similarity matrix (SM) of the data and the parameter ”preference” p. Although the original AP algorithm has shown much success in data clustering, it still suffer from one limitation: it is not easy to determine the value of the parameter ”preference” p which can result an optimal clustering solution. To resolve this limitation, we propose a new model of the parameter ”preference” p, i.e. it is modeled based on the similarity distribution. Having the SM and p, Modified Adaptive AP (MAAP) procedure is running. MAAP procedure means that we omit the adaptive p-scanning algorithm as in original Adaptive-AP (AAP) procedure. Experimental results on random non-partition and partition data sets show that (i) the proposed algorithm, MAAP-DDP, is slower than original AP for random non-partition dataset, (ii) for random 4-partition dataset and real datasets the proposed algorithm has succeeded to identify clusters according to the number of dataset’s true labels with the execution times that are comparable with those original AP. Beside that the MAAP-DDP algorithm demonstrates more feasible and effective than original AAP procedure.
