Multiple-valued immune network with apoptosis system.

In this paper, we describe a new model of immune network based on biological immune response network. We propose an immunity like multiple-valued network with apoptosis mechanism. The model is based on the interaction between B cells and T cells and the biological apoptosis mechanism in the human body. With the mechanism, a naturally immune system can be reproduced. The model is also applied to pattern recognition. It becomes possible with a conventional model to restrict the category increase of memory patterns. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
