The paper addresses dynamic combinatorial clustering. First, a systematic literature survey on dynamic/online clustering is presented (problems, methods, applications). Second, restructuring approach to clustering is described (one-stage clustering, multi-stage clustering, sorting). Third, two network application examples of dynamic/multistage clustering are examined: (a) multi-stage connection of users to access points, (b) partition coloring problem in optical networks (wavelength routing and assignment).
