Immune Algorithm with Memory Coevolution
Tao Liu, Zhifeng Hu
Abstract
Although various immune algorithms have been proposed by researchers to be put to use in engineering practice, these immune algorithms fail to take into account the impact of the complex relationship between the environment and the individual on the evolution of the individual. Therefore, the convergence rate of such algorithm can be slow in practical applications. The Memory Coevolution Immune Algorithm (MCIA) is proposed to overcome the above defect. The strategy of memory coevolution was proposed; the distance concentration and affinity function were defined. Based on the evaluation of the antibodies and utilizing the synergic evolution philosophy, the antibodies in the memory library are selected and crossed with the cloned antibodies according to the affinity value. As a result, the excellent antibody genes are spread among different antibodies. Meanwhile, on the basis of the full mutation, the other antibodies in the memory library are selected, and are crossed with the cloned antibodies. As a result the antibody genes with poor quality have been contained. The experiment shows that the adoption of memory coevolution mechanism in MCIA enhanced the algorithm's search capabilities.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
