Abstract
Random graph (RG) models play a central role in complex networks analysis. They help us to understand, control, and predict phenomena occurring, for instance, in social networks, biological networks, the Internet, and so on.
Despite a large number of RG models presented in the literature, there are few concepts underlying them. Instead of trying to classify a wide variety of very dispersed models, we capture and describe concepts they exploit considering preferential attachment, copying principle, hyperbolic geometry, recursively defined structure, edge switching, Monte Carlo sampling, and so on. We analyze RG models, extract their basic principles, and build a taxonomy of concepts they are based on. We also discuss how these concepts are combined in RG models and how they work in typical applications like benchmarks, null models, and data anonymization.

Automated design of random dynamic graph models
GECCO '19: Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference CompanionDynamic graphs are an essential tool for representing a wide variety of concepts that change over time. Examples include modeling the evolution of relationships and communities in a social network or tracking the activity of users within an enterprise ...
Automated design of random dynamic graph models for enterprise computer network applications
GECCO '19: Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference CompanionDynamic graphs are an essential tool for representing a wide variety of concepts that change over time. In the case of static graph representations, random graph models are often useful for analyzing and predicting the characteristics of a given ...
The random planar graph process
We consider the following variant of the classical random graph process introduced by Erdýs and Rényi. Starting with an empty graph on n vertices, choose the next edge uniformly at random among all edges not yet considered, but only insert it if the ...
