Abstract: Information diffusion and disease spreading in awareness-contact layered network are typically asymmetrically coupled with each other, in which how an individual being aware of disease responds to the disease can significantly affect the epidemic spreading. During the two processes above, there will be an adaptive evolution machine in which the diffusion of the disease or the information will lead individual to break or generate the link to avoid infecting the disease or to get more information, and then the link changes will react to the diffusion processes..............
