Building Real-World Complex Networks by Wandering on Random Graphs

While most real-world graphs are known to share similar properties with respect to connectivity or degree distribution, generating artificial graphs with those properties is still a challenging issue. In this paper, we propose to use random walks on random graphs to create graphs similar to real-world ones.
