this paper addresses a production and outbound distribution scheduling problem in which a set of jobs have to be process on a single machine for delivery to customers or to other machines for further processing. we assume that there is a sufficient number of vehicles and the delivery costs is independent of batch size but it is dependent on each trip. in this paper, we present an artificial imm...

in the software development process, testing is one of the most human intensive steps. many researchers try to automate test case generation to reduce the manual labor of this step. negative selection is a famous algorithm in the field of artificial immune system (ais) and many different applications has been developed using its idea. in this paper we have designed a new algorithm based on nega...

This paper proposes a new complex artificial immune system based on biological immune system. The complex data representation and complex expressions of weights are introduced into the traditional artificial immune system, in which binary or real value data representation was used. The proposed complex artificial immune system imitates the immune response mechanism closely and incorporates the ...

The study of Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) includes the development of computational abstractions of the natural immune system. The most intuitive application of these methods is the virus and in general the intrusion detection of a single system or network. But with the growing amount of data, global interconnectivity and communication also other fields of application for Artificial Immune S...

The human immune system has numerous properties that make it ripe for exploitation in the computational domain, such as robustness and fault tolerance, and many different algorithms, collectively termed Artificial Immune Systems (AIS), have been inspired by it. Two generations of AIS are currently in use, with the first generation relying on simplified immune models and the second generation ut...

1. INTRODUCTION The biological immune system is a robust, complex, adaptive system that defends the body from foreign pathogens. It is able to categorize all cells (or molecules) within the body as self-cells or non-self cells. It does this with the help of a distributed task force that has the intelligence to take action from a local and also a global perspective using its network of chemical

Applying artificial immune system to fault diagnosis is a new development direction in artificial intelligence, but the traditional artificial immune mode could not reasonably reflect the semantic similarity in the complexity problem space. For issues of semantic description of fault diagnosis, this paper introduces group cooperative mechanism of lymphocyte with a semantic tag to artificial imm...
