        In this paper, an attack analysis and detection method in cluster-based mobile ad hoc networks with AODV routing protocol is proposed. The proposed method uses the anomaly detection approach for detecting attacks in which the required features for describing the normal behavior of AODV protocol are defined via step by step analysis of AODV protocol and independent of any attack. In order to learn the normal behavior of AODV, a fuzzy voting method is used for combining support vector data description (SVDD), mixture of Gaussians (MoG), and self-organizing maps (SOM) one-class classifiers and the combined model is utilized to partially detect the attacks in cluster members. The votes of cluster members are periodically transmitted to the cluster head and final decision on attack detection is carried out in the cluster head. In the proposed method, a fuzzy voting method is used for aggregating the votes of cluster members in the cluster head by which the performance of the method improves significantly in detecting blackhole, rushing, route error fabrication, packet replication, and wormhole attacks. In this paper, an attack analysis method based on feature sensitivity ranking is also proposed that determines which features are influenced more by the mentioned attacks. This sensitivity ranking leads to the detection of the types of attacks launched on the network. Manuscript profile

        Community structure is a common and important feature in many complex networks, including bipartite networks. In recent years, community detection has received attention in many fields and many methods have been proposed for this purpose, but the heavy consumption of time in some methods limits their use in large-scale networks. There are methods with lower time complexity, but they are mostly non-deterministic, which greatly reduces their applicability in the real world. The usual approach that is adopted to community detection in bipartite networks is to first construct a unipartite projection of the network and then communities detect in that projection using methods related to unipartite networks, but these projections inherently lose information. In this paper, based on the bipartite modularity measure that quantifies the strength of partitions in bipartite networks and using the HellRank centrality measure, a quick and deterministic method for community detection from bipartite networks directly and without need to projection, proposed. The proposed method is inspired by the voting process in election activities in the social society and simulates it. Manuscript profile
