Before coming to the summary, here is the original question:
as a freshman in the field, I would like to know if there are any recent
reviews on the following topics:
- calculation of logP (lipophilicity) of organic molecules
- recent advances in cluster analysis(especially for HUGE databases),
based upon molecular similarity,
- recent developments of measures of molecular similarity.
In the replies, the following references were given:

Use of Density Functional Theory based Reactivity Descriptors in Molecular
Similarity Calculations" Chemical Physics Letters, 295, 122 (1998).
