Finding vertex-to-vertex correspondences in real-world graphs is a challenging task with applications in a wide variety of domains. Structural matching based on graphs connectivities has attracted considerable attention, while the integration of all the other information stemming from vertices and edges attributes has been mostly left aside. Here we present the Graph Attributes and Structure Matching (GASM) algorithm, which provides high-quality solutions by integrating all the available information in a unified framework. Parameters quantifying the reliability of the attributes can tune how much the solutions should rely on the structure or on the attributes. We further show that even without attributes GASM consistently finds as-good-as or better solutions than state-of-the-art algorithms, with similar processing times.
