Features: The computational capabilities of bioinformatics have attracted widespread attention from experts and scholars both domestically and internationally. In recent years, computational intelligence technologies, represented by bionic computing such as neural computing, evolutionary computing, DNA computing, and immunocomputing, have experienced unprecedented development, sparking a new wave in bionic computing. This book systematically discusses the concepts, principles, and application techniques of computer immunology. It begins with a brief review of the research history of biological immunology and computer immunology, discussing the mechanisms of biological immunology, with a focus on explaining the morphological space theory, clone selection principle, immune algorithms, immune models, and the design methods of computer immunological systems in computer immunology. Additionally, it provides in-depth discussions on the relationships between immunology, neural networks, and evolutionary computing. Finally, it reviews and elaborates on its application fields. This book features novel content and is rich in detail, making it suitable as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and information technology at universities. It can also serve as a reference for researchers in related fields.
