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
McEwan, C., & Hart, E. (2009). Representation in the (Artificial) Immune System. Journal of Mathematical Modelling and Algorithms, 8(2), 125-149. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10852-009-9104-6

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..

Computing the State of Specknets: further analysis of an innate immune-inspired model. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Davoudani, D., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2008, August). Computing the State of Specknets: further analysis of an innate immune-inspired model

Specknets consist of hundreds of miniature devices, which are each capable of processing data and communicating wirelessly across short distances. Such networks, with their great complexity, pose considerable challenges for engineers due to the unrel...
