Abstract

In this paper, empirical investigation results on the distribution of vertex strength and correlation of four open software systems have been presented with the view of reasonable description of software structure. We make use of the software coupling weighted networks to characterize and describe the macroscopic properties of four open software systems. Implement examining of the distribution of vertex strength for software coupling weighted networks and find that the in- strength distribution have the scale-free property but the out- strength distribution can be well described by stretched exponential distribution. And then we calculate correlation of the software coupling weighted networks, and draw a conclusion that the network is disassortative mixing in unweighted and undirected versions, and negative correlation between in- strength and out- strength of software coupling weighted networks has existed.
