Dynamic route guidance algorithm based onartificial immune system

To improve the performance of the K-shortest paths search in intelligent traffic guidance systems, this paper proposes an optimal search algorithm based on the intelligent optimization search theory and the metaphor mechanism of vertebrate immune systems. This algorithm, applied to the urban traffic network model established by the node-expanding method, can expediently realize K-shortest paths search in the urban traffic guidance systems. Because of the immune memory and global parallel search ability from artificial immune systems, K shortest paths can be found without any repeat, which indicates evidently the superiority of the algorithm to the conventional ones. Not only does it perform a better parallelism, the algorithm also prevents premature phenomenon that often occurs in genetic algorithms. Thus, it is especially suitable for real-time requirement of the traffic guidance system and other engineering optimal applications. A case study verifies the efficiency and the practicability of the algorithm aforementioned.

Inspired by the immune network theory, an adaptive anomaly detection paradigm based on artificial immune network, referred as APAI, is proposed. The implementation of the paradigm includes： initially, the first is to create the initial antibody network; then, through the learning of each training antigen, the antibody network is evolved and updated by the optimal antibodies.

A Review of Artificial Immune System Based Security Frameworks for MANET

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are collections of wireless mobile devices that form a communication network with restricted broadcast range, limited resources and without fixed infrastructure. Routing is a critical function in multi-hop MANETs. At the same time, security in MANETs—especially routing security—presents a number of new and interesting challenges. Communication is achieved by relaying data along routes that are dynamically discovered and maintained through collaboration between the nodes. Advances in the field of artificial immune systems provide an opportunity to improve MANET security and performance. Artificial immune systems mimic the functionality of the human immune system wherein there is clear distinction between self and non self and this delineation is important in a MANET where there is no centralized management. The high level of protection provided to the human body by an evolved immune system can be applied as a security feature in MANET. The current security techniques proposed for MANET have varying degrees of success due to the dynamic nature of a MANET. This paper will review different strategies for the application of artificial immune systems to MANETs.

Combining Artificial Immune System and Clustering Analysis: A Stock Market Anomaly Detection Model

Artificial intelligence research in the stock market sector has been heavily geared towards stock price prediction rather than stock price manipulation. As online trading systems have increased the amount of high volume and re-al-time data transactions, the stock market has increased vulnerability to at-tacks. This paper aims to detect these attacks based on normal trade behavior using an Artificial Immune System (AIS) approach combined with one of four clustering algorithms. The AIS approach is inspired by its proven ability to handle time-series data and its ability to detect abnormal behavior while only being trained on regular trade behavior. These two main points are essential as the models need to adapt over time to adjust to normal trade behavior as it evolves, and due to confidentiality and data restrictions, real-world manipula-tions are not available for training. This paper discovers a competitive alterna-tive to the leading approach and investigates the effects of combining AIS with clustering algorithms;Kernel Density Estimation, Self-Organized Maps, Densi-ty-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise and Spectral clustering. The best performing solution achieves leading performance using common clustering metrics, including Area Under the Curve, False Alarm Rate, False Negative Rate, and Computation Time.

Optimal approximation of linear systems by artificial immune response

This paper puts forward a novel artificial immune response algorithm for optimal approximation of linear systems. A quaternion model of artificial immune response is proposed for engineering computing. The model abstracts four elements, namely, antigen, antibody, reaction rules among antibodies, and driving algorithm describing how the rules are applied to antibodies, to simulate the process of immune response. Some reaction rules including clonal selection rules, immunological memory rules and immune regulation rules are introduced. Using the theorem of Markov chain, it is proofed that the new model is convergent. The experimental study on the optimal approximation of a stable linear system and an unstable one show that the approximate models searched by the new model have better performance indices than those obtained by some existing algorithms including the differential evolution algorithm and the multi-agent genetic algorithm.

Intelligent multi-user detection using an artificial immune system

Artificial immune systems （AIS） are a kind of new computational intelligence methods which draw inspiration from the human immune system. In this study, we introduce an AIS-based optimization algorithm, called clonal selection algorithm, to solve the multi-user detection problem in code-division multipleaccess communications system based on the maximum-likelihood decision rule. Through proportional cloning, hypermutation, clonal selection and clonal death, the new method performs a greedy search which reproduces individuals and selects their improved maturated progenies after the affinity maturation process. Theoretical analysis indicates that the clonal selection algorithm is suitable for solving the multi-user detection problem. Computer simulations show that the proposed approach outperforms some other approaches including two genetic algorithm-based detectors and the matched filters detector, and has the ability to find the most likely combinations.

Integrated intrusion detection model based on artificial immune

The author puts forward an integrated intrusion detection （ID） model based on artificial immune （IIDAI）, a vaccination strategy based on the significance degree of genes and a method to generate initial memory antibodies with rough set （RS）. IIDAI integrates two kinds of intrusion detection mode： misuse detection and anonymous detection. Misuse detection and anonymous detection are applied to detect the known and the unknown attacks, respectively. On the basis of IIDAI model, an ID algorithm is presented. Simulation shows that the IIDAI has better performance than traditional ID methods in feasibility and effectiveness. It is very prone to achieve a higher convergence rate by using the vaccination strategy. Moreover, RS can remove the redundancy attributes and increase the detection speed. It can also increase detection rate by applying the integrated method.

An artificial immune and incremental learning inspired novel framework for performance pattern identification of complex electromechanical systems

Performance pattern identification is the key basis for fault detection and condition prediction,which plays a major role in ensuring safety and reliability in complex electromechanical systems(CESs).However,there are a few problems related to the automatic and adaptive updating of an identification model.Aiming to solve the problem of identification model updating,a novel framework for performance pattern identification of the CESs based on the artificial immune systems and incremental learning is proposed in this paper to classify real-time monitoring data into different performance patterns.First,an unsupervised clustering technique is used to construct an initial identification model.Second,the artificial immune and outlier detection algorithms are applied to identify abnormal data and determine the type of immune response.Third,incremental learning is employed to trace the dynamic changes of patterns,and operations such as pattern insertion,pattern removal,and pattern revision are designed to realize automatic and adaptive updates of an identification model.The effectiveness of the proposed framework is demonstrated through experiments with the benchmark and actual pattern identification applications.As an unsupervised and self-adapting approach,the proposed framework inherits the preponderances of the conventional methods but overcomes some of their drawbacks because the retraining process is not required in perceiving the pattern changes.Therefore,this method can be flexibly and efficiently used for performance pattern identification of the CESs.Moreover,the proposed method provides a foundation for fault detection and condition prediction,and can be used in other engineering applications.

Use of self-organizing suppression and q-Gaussian mutation in artificial immune systems

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to propose two operators for diversity and mutation control in artificial immune systems(AISs).Design/methodology/approach-The proposed operators are applied in substitution to the suppression and mutation operators used in AISs.The proposed mechanisms were tested in the opt-aiNet,a continuous optimization algorithm inspired in the theories of immunology.The traditional opt-aiNet uses a suppression operator based on the immune network principles to remove similar cells and add random ones to control the diversity of the population.This procedure is computationally expensive,as the Euclidean distances between every possible pair of candidate solutions must be computed.This work proposes a self-organizing suppression mechanism inspired by the self-organizing criticality(SOC)phenomenon,which is less dependent on parameter selection.This work also proposes the use of the q-Gaussian mutation,which allows controlling the form of the mutation distribution during the optimization process.The algorithms were tested in a well-known benchmark for continuous optimization and in a bioinformatics problem:the rigid docking of proteins.Findings-The proposed suppression operator presented some limitations in unimodal functions,but some interesting results were found in some highly multimodal functions.The proposed q-Gaussian mutation presented good performance in most of the test cases of the benchmark,and also in the docking problem.Originality/value-First,the self-organizing suppression operator was able to reduce the complexity of the suppression stage in the opt-aiNet.Second,the use of q-Gaussian mutation in AISs presented better compromise between exploitation and exploration of the search space and,as a consequence,a better performance when compared to the traditional Gaussian mutation.
