Arti?cial Immune Systems have come of age. They are no longer an
obscure computersciencetechnique,
workedonbyacoupleoffarsightedresearchgroups. Today, researchers
across the globe are working on new computer algorithms inspired by
the workings of the immune system. This vigorous ?eld of research
investigates how immunobiology can assist our technology, and along
the way is beginning to help biologists understand their unique
problems. AIS is now old enough to understand its roots, its
context in the research community, and its exciting future. It has
grown too big to be con?ned to s- cial sessions in evolutionary
computation conferences. AIS researchers are now forming their own
community and identity. The International Conference on Arti?cial
Immune Systems is proud to be the premiere conference in the area.
As its organizers, we were honored to have such a variety of
innovative and original scienti?c papers presented this year.
ICARIS 2004 was the third international conference dedicated
entirely to the ?eld of Arti?cial Immune Systems (AIS). It was held
in Catania, on the beautiful island of Sicily, Italy, during
September 13-16, 2004. While hosting the conference, the city of
Catania gave the participants the opportunity to enjoy the richness
of its historical and cultural atmosphere and the beauty of its
natural resources, the sea, and the Etna volcano
Shrouded in poetry, the earliest accounts of Hindu astronomy can
strike modern readers as obscure. They involve the marriage of the
moon to twenty-seven princesses, a war between gods and giants, and
shadows that give birth to planets. In this fascinating study,
first published in Calcutta in 1823 and reissued here in the 1825
edition, John Bentley (c.1750 1824) strives to strip back the
mythical aspects of the stories to reveal their foundations. He
points out that early Hindu astronomers divided the night sky into
twenty-seven sections; that a solar eclipse could have been
described as an epic war between light and dark; and that Saturn is
often observed in the Earth's shadow. Using data from modern
astronomical tables, he dates events, texts and people, whether
mythical or factual, as well as charting the history of Indian
astronomy from its earliest records to its modern developments.
