* Important Dates
Submission deadline: March 25, 2005
Acceptance/Rejection notification: April 25, 2005
Camera-ready copy of papers: June 6, 2005
Workshop Date: June 9-10, 2005
* Aims and Scope
The workshop aims at catalyzing the interaction between modelers (computer
scientists, mathematicians and physicists), immunologists and biologists
interested in discussing the information processing mechanisms emerging in
the functionalities of either natural or artificial immune systems.
The leading idea motivating this event is the attention to the various forms
of “intelligent thinking” underlying the many attack/defense/adaptation
strategies discovered in natural systems, such as tumor and virus escape
mechanisms of animals and humans, or implemented in artificial systems.
This approach may reap several basic benefits of the original cybernetics
paradigm:
-the emergence of the mind from chemical-physical reactions that can be
studied and simulated,
- the use of natural processing mechanisms for solving artificial problems,
and the cross-fertilization of the natural and artificial research
environments, -the adoption of comprehensive immune system models in the
development of new therapeutic approaches.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
# Computational Immunology
# Immunological Computation
# Immunoinformatics
# modelling and simulation of immune systems
# model testing and game theory
# biological and immersive learning
# network security and artificial virus attacks
# comparisons between Artificial Immune Systems and other
biologically-inspired paradigms
# theory and applications of Immunological Computing
# Immunocomputing
