Artificial immune systems (AIS) mimic natural immunity for computational problem-solving, offering advantages for immunology research. These simulations enable easier hypothesis testing and data integration compared to traditional lab work.

Area of Science:

  • Computational biology
  • Immunoinformatics
  • Artificial intelligence

Background:

  • The natural immune system provides a robust model for developing advanced computational systems.
  • Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) are computational paradigms inspired by biological immunity.
  • AIS have shown potential in addressing complex engineering challenges, including cybersecurity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the principles and applications of computational immune systems.
  • To highlight the complementary strengths of AIS in advancing immunological research.
  • To explore the utility of AIS in solving practical engineering problems.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on computational immune systems.
  • Analysis of the functional analogies between natural and artificial immune systems.
