    • Artificial Immune Systems

    I have just been accepted to do my 3rd year computer science project and dissertation on writing an API and class library system for artificial immune systems. I’ll be supervised by Prof. Timmis.

    This is a really exciting new area of research, on computer programs that act in similar ways to vertebrate immune systems to solve hard problems, like the famous travelling salesman, or pattern matching etc.

    For technology enthusiasts, the API has already been started, and is written in Java. As well as a API and class system, there is a GUI interface for visualising what is going on.
    I will be starting to read up on it soon, and properly thinking about it in the summer, so be prepared for some posts on this topic.
