CALL FOR PAPERS

Artificial Immune Systems: Algorithms, Simulation, Modelling & Theory

IEEE CEC 2017 Special Session
June 5-8, 2017, Donostia - San Sebastián, Spain
http://ieee-cis-ais.org/ais-cec2017/

*** EXTENDED DEADLINE: January 30, 2017


The Immune System protects organisms against diseases, and over the  
years has been an important source of inspiration for the development  
of algorithms to be applied in a wide range of applications, such as  
learning, pattern recognition, optimisation and classification. Many  
of these algorithms are built on solid theoretical foundations,  
through understanding mathematical models and computational simulation  
of aspects of the immune system. The scope of this research area  
ranges from modelling to simulation of the immune system, to the  
development of novel engineering solutions to complex problems, and  
bridges several disciplines to provide new insights into immunology,  
computer science, mathematics and engineering.

This special session aims to focus on the recent advances on  
Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) field, also offering new conceptual  
models for understanding the dynamics that underlie the immune system.

This special session is supported by IEEE CIS Task Force on Artificial  
Immune Systems (http://ieee-cis-ais.org).

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-   Computational & Mathematical modelling of the Immune System;
-   Theoretical aspects of immune inspired algorithms;
-   Novel algorithms and new immune operators;
-   Benchmarking immune inspired algorithms against other techniques;
-   Empirical and Theoretical investigations into performance and  
complexity of immune inspired algorithms;
-   Hybridisation of immune inspired algorithms with other techniques;
-   Systems & Synthetic Immunology.


All the papers have to be submitted electronically through the  
congress application.
