چکیده

Two binary-encoded models describing some aspects of the evolution in an artificial immune system have been proposed and analyzed. The first model has focused on the evolution of a paratope's population, considering a fixed group of epitopes, to simulate a hypermutation mechanism and observe how the system would self-adjust to cover the epitopes. In the second model, the evolution involves a group of antibodies adapting to a given antigen molecules population. A genetic algorithm was used to form adaptive niching inspired on Coevolutionary Shared Niching strategy ideas taken from an economic model of monopolistic competition where “businessmen” locate themselves among geographically distributed “clients” so as to maximize their profit. Numerical experiments with the two models are presented.

Solving the local positioning problem using a four-layer artificial neural network

Today, the global positioning systems (GPS) do not work well in buildings and in dense urban areas when there is no lines of sight between the user and their satellites. Hence, the local positioning system (LPS) has been considerably used in recent years. The main purpose of this research is to provide a four-layer artificial neural network based on nonlinear system solver (NLANN) for local pos...
