CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational Intelligence Special Issue on “Emergent Topics in Artificial Immune Systems” The Artificial Immune System is a fast developing research area in the Computational Intelligence community. As a kind of computationally intelligent systems, Artificial Immune Systems (AISs) are inspired by the information processing mechanism of biological immune system. The typical models/algorithms of AISs include Clonal Selection Algorithms, Negative Selection Algorithms, Immune Network Algorithms, Dendritic Cell Algorithms, Negative Databases, Negative Surveys, and so on. The models/algorithms of AISs have been applied into various applications. With the fast development of AISs, some emergent topics have received a lot of attention. Specially, the promises and challenges of immune models/algorithms for cyber-security, fault tolerance and self-organization are worth paying more attention to. The topics of this special issue focus on cyber-security, fault tolerance and self-organization through Artificial Immune Systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 1. Artificial immune systems for cyber-security: system security, network security, information assurance, authorization, secure cloud computing, secure multi-party computation, fraud detection, big data security, data privacy, privacy-preserving data mining, privacy-preserving data publishing, sensitive data collection, etc. 2. Artificial immune systems for fault tolerance: fault prediction, fault detection, fault diagnosis, fault recovery, on-line detection and recovery, fault-tolerant embedded systems, fault-tolerant middleware, survivable techniques, robotics, etc. 3. Artificial immune systems for self-organization and adaptation: self-organizing computing systems, foundational models of self-organizing behaviors, networking models and techniques for self-organizing systems, applications of self-organizing systems, autonomic computing, etc. Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for conference/journal publication elsewhere.
