SOFTWARE - gSpan: Frequent Graph Mining Package

gSpan is a software package of mining frequent graphs in a graph database.  Given a collection of graphs and a minimum support threshold, gSpan is able to find all of the subgraphs whose frequency is above the threshold.  The details of gSpan can be found in the following papers,
