Due to the rapid growth of computer network, idea, virus are spreading extremely fast on the internet. As we known, there are several of various infectious diseases in the biological life and virus in the online world. But in fact, compared to the transmission of infectious disease, those infectious viruses spreading in complex network have similar patterns and model [1]. The main purpose of this project is study the transmission of infectious agents in complex networks, in order to find out and discuss the model that the infectious agent transmitted. In this report, basic knowledge of complex network, including scale-free network and small-world network would be covered. Three different epidemic model for infectious agent spreading (SI, SIR and SIS, where S stands for susceptible, I stands for infected and R stands for recovered with immunity [2]) would be discussed in this report. The main project is to simulate complex network and those transmission models by using Matlab, observe the variation in different situation. Therefore, this project is heavily based on coding with Matlab and would fulfil codes in the simulation part.
