The secret life of the immune system: inspiring pervasive systems (2009)
Newspaper / Magazine
Hart, E. (2009). The secret life of the immune system: inspiring pervasive systems

The immune system performs more than simply defence and exploiting its additional functionality can lead to the design of better pervasive adaptive systems.

On AIRS and clonal selection for machine learning (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McEwan, C., & Hart, E. (2009, August). On AIRS and clonal selection for machine learning. Presented at ICARIS 2009: Artificial Immune Systems, York

Many recent advances have been made in understanding the functional implications of the global topological properties of biological networks through the application of complex network theory, particularly in the area of small-world and scale-free top...

Exploiting Collaborations in the Immune System: The Future of Artificial Immune Systems (2009)
Book Chapter
Hart, E., McEwan, C., & Davoudani, D. (2009). Exploiting Collaborations in the Immune System: The Future of Artificial Immune Systems. In C. Mumford, & L. Jain (Eds.), Intelligent Systems Reference Library; Computational Intelligence (527-558). Springer-Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-01799-5_16

Despite a steady increase in the application of algorithms inspired by the natural immune system to a variety of domains over the previous decade, we argue that the field of Artificial Immune Systems has yet to achieve its full potential. We suggest... Read More about Exploiting Collaborations in the Immune System: The Future of Artificial Immune Systems.

Dendritic cell trafficking: from Immunology to Engineering. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., & Davoudani, D. (2009, August). Dendritic cell trafficking: from Immunology to Engineering. Presented at 8th International Conference, ICARIS 2009, York, UK

The field of Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) has derived inspiration from many different elements of the natural immune system in order to develop engineered systems that operate in environments with constraints similar to those faced by the immune s...

Representation in the (Artificial) Immune System (2009)
Journal Article

Much of contemporary research in Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) has partitioned into either algorithmic machine learning and optimisation, or, modelling biologically plausible dynamical systems, with little overlap between. We propose that this dich... Read More about Representation in the (Artificial) Immune System.

Computing the State of Specknets: an immune-inspired approach. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Davoudani, D., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2008, June). Computing the State of Specknets: an immune-inspired approach. Presented at International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems, 2008. SPECTS 2008

Speckled Computing is an emerging technology based on the
deployment of thousands of minute semiconductor grains in
dense, wireless networks known as Specknets. Specknets collect
and process data to achieve some application dependent
functionalit... Read More about Computing the State of Specknets: an immune-inspired approach..
