Abstract
This paper is mainly concerned with the identification of an embryonic product platform from a family of products whose composition, configuration and characteristics are represented by Attributed Graphs. The problem becomes that of identifying the largest isomorphic sub-graph with the highest similarity. An algorithm is proposed for solving this problem together with several novel concepts.
