libtissue - implementing innate immunity

TL;DR

This paper introduces libtissue, a software system designed to implement and evaluate artificial immune systems inspired by innate immunity principles, advancing the development of biologically plausible AIS models.

Contribution

The paper presents libtissue, a novel software platform that enables the implementation and experimental evaluation of innate immunity-inspired artificial immune systems.

Findings

libtissue successfully models innate immunity properties

Experimental results demonstrate system's effectiveness

Provides a flexible framework for AIS research

Abstract

In a previous paper the authors argued the case for incorporating ideas from innate immunity into articficial immune systems (AISs) and presented an outline for a conceptual framework for such systems. A number of key general properties observed in the biological innate and adaptive immune systems were hughlighted, and how such properties might be instantiated in artificial systems was discussed in detail. The next logical step is to take these ideas and build a software system with which AISs with these properties can be implemented and experimentally evaluated. This paper reports on the results of that step - the libtissue system.
