Title: The Average Path Length of Association Link Network
Abstract: Association Link Network (ALN) which can effectively support many Web intelligent activities such as Web-based learning, Web knowledge discovery and semantic search. As one of the most robust measures of network topology, average path length plays an important role in the transport and communication within a network. This paper analyzes the average path length of Association Link Network (ALN). First, the network density of ALN is analyzed to get the functional relation between network density and its parameters. Then, based on the achieved result of network density function, the approximate solution of average path length for ALN is deduced. The experimental results show our approximate solution has high precision.
