In G Nicosia and et al, editors, Third International Conference on Artificial Immune Systems, number 3239 in LNCS, pages 182-196. Springer, September 2004.Abstract
Proteins are the driving force in development (embryogenesis) and the immune system. Here we describe how a model of proteins designed for evolutionary development in computers can be combined with a model of immune systems. Full details of a prototype system are provided, and preliminary experiments presented. Results show that evolution is able to adjust the mapping between input data and antigens and cause useful changes to the subnetworks formed by the immune algorithm.
