Abstract | Recent investigations in the field of complex networks include the analysis of distributions of connections in particular networks and the clustering properties of networks. In this presentation we analyse the dependency network of the software packages of the Ubuntu distribution of GNU/Linux. We developed the CXNet module for the Python programming language to analyse this network. Using this module the students can easily investigate these properties of the package dependency network. |
