Rewiring through epidemic spreading

Structure and properties of networks, such as metabolic networks, human relations, and the Internet, have been attracting research interests in various research fields. Some common features have been found in those networks. The origins of such structure have been investigated. Dynamics in networks also have been studied so far. Preferential rewiring processes have been reported for generating scalefree networks[1, 2]. Some researches have investigated the dynamics as an origin of rewiring [3, 4]. The purpose of this research is to investigate the interaction between dynamics and network structure. We employ a simple epidemic model in networks.
