Your immune system is unique. It is in many waysas complex as your
brain, but itisnotcentredinonelocation,
likethebrain.Itisnotasingleorgan-itconsists
ofmanydi?erentcelltypes, diversemethods
ofintercellularcommunication, and many di?erent organs. Its
functionality is blurred throughout you-we can't extract the immune
system, or point to where it begins and ends. The immune system is
not separablefrom the system it protects. It has integrallinks to
every organ of our bodies.
Thishasradicalimplicationsforthe?eldofArti?cialImmuneSystems(AIS),
that we are only now beginning to comprehend. One of the ?rst
insights is that modelling the immune system, or developing any
kind of immune algorithm, is di?cult. The immune system is one
aspect of biology that we ?nd di?cult to apply simple reductionist
explanations to. We can very successfully extract s- processes of
the whole and create immune algorithms based on those processes.
But we are always aware that we are missing the whole story. This
is leading to more holistic views of immune algorithm development:
theoretical analyses of how the sub-components contribute to the
whole, and identi?cation of missing elements. Arti?cial immune
systems are now beginning to incorporate ideas of innate as well as
adaptive immunity, more complex intercellular communication
mechanisms, endocrine and neural interfaces, concepts of tissue and
broader ideas of organism and environment.

emergent, embodied and distributed processing capabilities.
