Immunological inspiration for building a new generation of autonomic systems. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., Davoudani, D., & McEwan, C. (2007). Immunological inspiration for building a new generation of autonomic systems. In Autonomics '07 Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Autonomic computing and communication systems

Autonomic computing systems of the future will be required to exhibit a number of properties which cannot be engineered using current technologies and algorithms. The most direct inspiration for building such systems is nature, where for example the... Read More about Immunological inspiration for building a new generation of autonomic systems..

An Immune-Inspired Approach to Speckled Computing (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Davoudani, D., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2007, August). An Immune-Inspired Approach to Speckled Computing. Presented at International Conference on Artificial Immune Systems ICARIS 2007, Beijing, China

Speckled Computing offers a radically new concept in information technology that has the potential to revolutionise the way we communicate and exchange information. Specks — minute, autonomous, semi-conductor grains that can sense and compute locally... Read More about An Immune-Inspired Approach to Speckled Computing.

Revisiting the Central and Peripheral Immune System (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McEwan, C., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2007, August). Revisiting the Central and Peripheral Immune System. Presented at ICARIS 2007: International Conference on Artificial Immune Systems, Santos, Brazil

The idiotypic network has a long and chequered history in both theoretical immunology and Artificial Immune Systems. In terms of the latter, the drive for engineering applications has led to a diluted interpretation of the immunological models. Resea...

Topological constraints in the evolution of idiotypic networks. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., Santos, F., & Bersini, H. (2007). Topological constraints in the evolution of idiotypic networks. In Artificial Immune Systems: Proceedings of 6th International Conference, ICARIS 2007 (252-263). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-73922-7_22

Previous studies have shown that there is an intricate relationship between the topology of an idiotypic network and its resulting properties. However, empirical studies can only be performed by pre-selecting both a shape-space and affinity function.... Read More about Topological constraints in the evolution of idiotypic networks..

How affinity influences tolerance in an idiotypic network. (2007)
Journal Article
Hart, E., Bersini, H., & Santos, F. (2007). How affinity influences tolerance in an idiotypic network. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 249, 422-436. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2007.07.019

The mutability of bacteriophages offers a particular advantage in the treatment of bacterial infections not afforded by other antimicrobial therapies. When phage-resistant bacteria emerge, mutation may generate phage capable of exploiting and thus li... Read More about How affinity influences tolerance in an idiotypic network..
