A Brief Survey on the Concepts of Agent and Artificial Immune Systems

Agents are probably the fastest growing area Information Technology. As agents has ability to migrate to any system, perform the tasks and return the results. The field of software agents is a broad and rapidly developing area of research, which encompasses a diverse range of topics and interests. Intelligent agent can accommodate with new problem solving techniques. The capacity to develop intelligent agent is mainly restricted by the knowledge acquisition effort required. The threat of a sophisticated computer attacks is growing at a rapid rate. The artificial immune system and its working in various fields are analysed. Keywords-Intelligent Agent, Artificial Immune System, Intrusion Response, Fault Management, Learning , Coordination.
