Abstract
Undoubtedly, the cluster approach has been a very successful and useful tool for describing and modelling the structure of quasicrystals. However, a number of unanswered questions remain as to how stable these clusters are, in what way do they contribute to the stability of quasicrystals and what physical properties they have. In the following, the different ways in which the term cluster is used are summarised.
