To this purpose, we take as a key quantity, in the network evolution, the centrality or importance of a vertex as measured by its PageRank. Using a preferential attachment rule and a rewiring procedure based on this quantity, we can reproduce most of the topological properties of the system.}, keywords = {PACS: 89.75.Da Systems obeying scaling laws; 89.75.Hc Networks and genealogical trees; 89.20.Hh World Wide Web, Internet } }
