Artificial Immune Systems
The field of Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) is one of the more recent biologically inspired approaches to emerge from computer science. The natural immune system is an adaptive learning system that employs many parallel and complementary mechanisms for defense against foreign pathogens and self-regulatory processes. It is a distributed system, capable of constructing and maintaining a dynamical and structural identity, capable of learning to identify previously unseen invaders and remembering what it has learnt. Numerous immune algorithms now exist, based on processes identified within human immune systems. These computational techniques have many potential applications, such as in distributed and adaptive control, machine learning, pattern recognition, fault detection, computer security, optimization, and distributed system design.
