Clonal selection was a natural choice mode of immune system, in which the antibody with high affinity for antigen was promoted and the antibody with low affinity was restrained under the action of clonal selection mechanism. And Clonal Selection Algorithm (CSA) as one kind of searching methods adopted group search strategy, exchanged information between antibodies and achieved global optimal so...

In existing metaheuristics for solving the capacitated arc routing problem, traversal local search operators are often used to explore neighbors of the current solutions. This mechanism is beneficial for finding high-quality solutions; however, it entails a large number of function evaluations, causing high computational complexity. Hence, there is a need to further enhance the efficiency of su...

Immune algorithms (IAs) are microscopic view of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) and applied in combinatorial optimization problems. This paper addresses to a clonal selection algorithm (CSA) that is one of the most representative IA and was applied into the protein structure prediction (PSP) on AB off-lattice model, in which the memory B cells of the CSA was innovated by employing different strat...

This paper presents clonal selection algorithm to solve the Dynamic Economic Dispatch Problem (DEDP) of generating units considering valve point loading effects. It determines the optimal operation of units with predicted load demand over a certain period of time with an objective to minimize total production cost while the system is operating with ramp rate limits. This paper presents DED base...

The accuracy of face recognition is very important for its security in many applications, because wrong face recognition may cause such security problems as authorization. To increase the recognition rate in such face database as ORL, a face recognition algorithm should be good at minimizing the disturbances of facial pose, illumination and expression (PIE) to this recognition. In this paper, t...
