Abstract
We study the phase synchronization and cluster formation in coupled maps on different networks. We identify two different mechanisms of cluster formation; (a) {\it Self-organized} phase synchronization which leads to clusters with dominant intra-cluster couplings and (b) {\it driven} phase synchronization which leads to clusters with dominant inter-cluster couplings. In the novel driven synchronization the nodes of one cluster are driven by those of the others. We also discuss the dynamical origin of these two mechanisms.
