Second quarter 2009 revenues were $31.8 million, an increase of 22% over revenue of $26.0 million in the same year ago period. Net income on a GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2009 was $8.5 mil...
Defining Cloud Computing and identifying the current players
This document offers a high-level summary of Cloud Computing, targeted at Executives who find themselves bombarded with Cloud Computing...
How can one effectively exploit the adaptive and distributed information processing characteristics of the immune system for the purposes of computation and engineering problem domains? The field f...
A series of adaptive models inspired by abstractions of the acquired immune system provided the basis for the proposal of a series of acquired-immune inspired algorithms. This work attempts to unit...
The two-signal theory of lymphocyte activation was proposed more than thirty-five years ago and since that time has been elaborated and experimentally demonstrated to be a mediation process for the...
A series of acquired immunity inspired clonal selection models have previously been proposed that includes principle model components and base (single repertoire) models. Also previously proposed i...
The acquired immune system provides a microcosm of Darwinian natural selection at the cellular level. When more than one of these somatic learning systems is considered in a population, an array of...
The acquired immune system of mammals (such as humans, mice, rats, and cattle) is the most studied immune system. Taking a quick look at the ‘tree of life’ reveals that this intensely studied syste...
Lazy learning is a general learning principle in which models are constructed from a database of cases on an ‘as- needed’ basis. Methods include instance-based approaches like nearest neighbour and...
Cognition is the study of higher-level information- processing mechanisms not limited to the perception, transformation, application, and storage of knowledge. A relatively new paradigm of immunolo...
This work is an artificial immune systems masters thesis and doctoral dissertation bibliography. The aggregate listing provides (1) a complete listing of theses and dissertations in the field, (2) ...
An aspect of complex adaptive systems is an observation that they typically operate far from equilibrium and optimality. This provokes investigation into frameworks into such decision-making proces...
The ‘shape-space’ formalism and fitness-inspired affinity landscape are two geometric paradigms of theoretical and computational immunity that have found popular application in the field of artific...
White blood cells (lymphocytes) are the mobile cells that make up the recognition and response component of the acquired immune system. There are pools of lymphocytes that recirculate the blood str...
Adaptive systems are difficult to describe, difficult to investigate, and extremely difficult to compare. In his seminal investigation of adaptive systems, Holland proposed an adaptive systems form...
White blood cells (lymphocytes) are critical to the recognition and response of the acquired immune system. These cells are mobile, migrating from primary lymphoid tissues, recirculating in the blo...
The acquired immune system is capable of specialising a defence of an organism in response to the its antigenic environment. This complex biological system possess interesting information processin...
The clonal selection theory proposed by Nobel Prize winning immunologist Frank Macfarlane Burnet is a deceptively simple algorithmic process that describes the diversity of antibodies and is the fo...
The field of Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) is approximately 20 years old, having been established by physicists, economists, and others studying complexity at the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico,...
