abstract = "The small world phenomena is initially investigated in the sociology that individuals are often linked by a short chain of acquaintances. S. Milgram and his group conduct a series of mail delivery experiments and find that an average of six degrees of separation exists between senders and receivers. Recent researchers have shown that the small worlds are also observed in wireless sensor networks. In this chapter, we discuss the epidemic and immunization process in small world of wireless sensor networks and mainly centre on the tree topologies. We introduce some basic characteristics of small world networks and analyze epidemiogical process in small-world networks. Meanwhile, we present immunization strategies during immunization process.",
