Artificial immune system
Artificial immune system
Artificial immune system (AIS) is a class of computational intelligence systems inspired by the principles and processes of the human immune system. The pronunciation of the term is /ɑːrˈtɪfɪʃəl ɪˈmjuːn ˈsɪstəm/.
Etymology
The term "Artificial immune system" is derived from the words "artificial", meaning made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, and "immune system", which is the body's defense against infectious organisms and other invaders. The concept is based on the idea of creating a computational system that mimics the human immune system.
Definition
An artificial immune system is a system of interacting agents (in a broad sense, not necessarily autonomous) that are inspired by the function and structure of the immune systems of organisms. These systems use computational analogies of the immune system processes such as antigen recognition, immune memory, and immune learning, to solve complex problems.
Related Terms
- Computational intelligence: The study of adaptive mechanisms to enable or facilitate intelligent behavior in complex and changing environments.
- Human immune system: The body's defense against infectious organisms and other invaders.
- Agent: An autonomous entity which observes and acts upon an environment.
- Antigen: A toxin or other foreign substance which induces an immune response in the body, especially the production of antibodies.
Applications
Artificial immune systems have been applied in various fields such as bioinformatics, computer security, machine learning, and optimization. They are used to develop algorithms and heuristics for problem-solving and learning.
