Quantitative description and modeling of real networks

Abstract

In this letter we present data analysis and modeling of two particular cases of study in the field of growing networks. We analyze WWW data set and authorship collaboration networks in order to check the presence of correlation in the data. The results are reproduced with a pretty good agreement through a suitable modification of the standard AB model of network growth. In particular, intrinsic relevance of sites plays a role in determining the future degree of the vertex.
