J. Timmis, P. Andrews, N. Owens and E. Clark (2008) "An interdisciplinary perspective on artificial immune systems"
From enfascination
A pretty high level review of AIS, with a focus on using analytic approaches from computer science (they even go into UML-diagrams-as-analysis). As far as the bio, I still like the first chapter of the SFI volume the best as an intro to AIS.
The list a bunch of otehr more specific reviews, as applied to computer security, data mining and reviews of the math.
Thesis: "Cohen urges the immunological community to embrace working with computational scientists to aid the understanding of the nature of immune computation" They are interested in computationally-inspired biology. They list a bunch of papers, most by the author, taking this approach to immunology.
Maybe i should look in pi-calculus. They made it sound interesting. no clue what it is.
They list (their) essential features of AIS:
- They will exhibit homeostasis
- They will benefit from interactiosn between innate and adaptive immune models
- They will consist of multiple, interacting components
- Components can be easily and naturally distributed
- They will be required to perform life-long learning.
