A finite set of distinct vectors X in the d-dimensional Euclidean space ℝd is called an s-distance set if the set of mutual distances between distinct elements of X has cardinality s. In this paper we present a combined approach of isomorph-free exhaustive generation of graphs and Gröbner basis computation to classify the largest 3-distance sets in ℝ4, the largest 4-distance sets in ℝ3, and the largest 6-distance sets in ℝ2. We also construct new examples of large s-distance sets for d≤ 8 and s≤ 6, and independently verify several earlier results from the literature.
