The natural immune system is a subject of great research interest because of its powerful
information processing capabilities. From an informationprocessing perspective, the immune …

Artificial immune systems (AIS) constitute a relatively new area of bio-inspired computing.
Biological models of the natural immune system, in particular the theories of clonal selection …

Biological systems such as human beings can be regarded as sophisticated information
processing systems, and can be expected to provide inspiration for various ideas to science …

Abstract The field of Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) concerns the study and development of
computationally interesting abstractions of the immune system. This survey tracks the …

Artificial immune system (AIS) is a new intelligent problem-solving technique that is being
used in some industrial applications. This paper presents an immunity-based algorithm for …

The first part of this report (De Castro & Von Zuben, 1999) is intended to present the basic
theory and concepts necessary for the development of immune-based systems. It brings an …

Overview This book introduces immunocomputing (Ie) as a new computing approach that
replicates the principles of information processing by proteins and immune networks. It …

This article reviews the production scheduling problems focusing on those related to flexible
job-shop scheduling. Job-shop and flexible job-shop scheduling problems are one of the …

A new multiclass classifier based on immune system principles is proposed. The unique
feature of this classifier is the embedded property of local feature selection. This method of …

In this paper, we present a heuristic inspired on the T‐Cell model of the immune system (ie
an artificial immune system). The proposed approach (called T‐Cell) is used for solving …
