Dear Colleagues we are cordially inviting you to join International Workshop on Natural and Artificial Immune Systems (NAIS05) to be held on June 9 and 10 in Vietri sul Mare (Salerno), Italy. 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, like the everyday virus attacks to the universe of computer systems.
All activities will take place at the IIASS centre, which is located in the beautiful Amalfi coast in the south of Italy. Here below you may read the technical program. You find more information on the conference in the NAIS05 website http://siren.dsi.unimi.it/conferences/IMMUNE05/html/index.html. The registration is on site.
