Biological Inspiration for Artificial Immune Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Artificial immune systems (AISs) to date have generally been inspired by naive biological metaphors. This has limited the effectiveness of these systems. In this position paper two ways in which AISs could be made more biologically realistic are discussed. We propose that AISs should draw their inspiration from organisms which possess only innate immune systems, and that AISs should employ systemic models of the immune system to structure their overall design. An outline of plant and invertebrate immune systems is presented, and a number of contemporary systemic models are reviewed. The implications for interdisciplinary research that more biologically-realistic AISs could have is also discussed.

Artificial Homeostasis: Integrating Biologically Inspired Computing
We present a framework which integrates artificial neural networks, artificial immune systems and a novel artificial endocrine system. The natural counterparts of these three components are usually assumed to be the principal actors in maintaining homeostasis within biological systems. This paper proposes a system which promises to capitalise on the self-organizing properties of these artificia...
متن کاملOnce More Unto the Breach ... towards Artificial Homeostasis?
The field of biologically inspired computing has generated many novel, interesting and useful computational systems. None of these systems alone is capable of approaching the level of behaviour for which the artificial intelligence and robotics communities strive. We suggest that it is now time to move on to integrating a number of these approaches in a biologically justifiable way. To this end...
متن کاملSemantic Preserving Data Reduction using Artificial Immune Systems
Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) can be defined as soft computing systems inspired by immune system of vertebrates. Immune system is an adaptive pattern recognition system. AIS have been used in pattern recognition, machine learning, optimization and clustering. Feature reduction refers to the problem of selecting those input features that are most predictive of a given outcome; a problem encoun...
متن کاملParallelizing an Immune-inspired Algorithm for Efficient Pattern Recognition
In recent years, there has been a growth of investigation into the use of the mammalian immune system as a source of inspiration and metaphor for computational tasks. One avenue of this investigation has been the exploration of the learning capabilities demonstrated by these biological systems. A second appealing aspect of biological immune systems is their inherent distributedness. This paper ...
متن کاملOptimizing Hidden Markov Models Using Genetic Algorithms and Artificial Immune Systems
Hidden Markov Models are widely used in speech recognition and bioinformatics systems. Conventional methods are usually used in the parameter estimation process of Hidden Markov Models (HMM). These methods are based on iterative procedure, like BaumWelch method, or gradient based methods. However, these methods can yield to local optimum parameter values. In this work, we use artificial techniq...
