DEMON, acronym for Democratic Estimation of the Modular Organization of a Network, is a static community discovery algorithm that falls in the Model-based approach. The novelty of the algorithm is the fact that communities are discovered in a ”democratic” fashion: each node of the network proposes a set of communities based on its local view. Then these local communities are merged together to build the global communities.
The Ego Network in which the ego node has been removed, together with all its attached edges.
