Vertices of the network are characterized by a fitness variable evolving through an extremal dynamics process, as in the Bak-Sneppen [2] model representing a prototype of Self-Organized Criticality. The network topology is in turn shaped by the fitness variable itself, as in the fitness network model [3]. The system self-organizes to a nontrivial state, characterized by a power-law decay of dynamical and topological quantities above a critical threshold. The interplay between topology and dynamics in the system is the key ingredient leading to an unexpected behaviour of these quantities. date: 2008 date_type: published publication: The European Physical Journal B volume: 64 number: 3-4 pagerange: 585-591 id_number: 10.1140/epjb/e2008-00243-5 refereed: TRUE issn: 1434-6028 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1140/epjb/e2008-00243-5 related_url_url: http://arxiv.org/abs/0805.0215 citation: Caldarelli, Guido and Capocci, Andrea and Garlaschelli, Diego A self-organized model for network evolution.
