TLDR
In this paper, the authors take a step back and reflect on the contributions that the Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) has brought to the application areas to which it has been applied, and suggest a set of problem features that they believe will allow the true potential of the immunological system to be exploited in computational systems.Abstract:
After a decade of research into the area of artificial immune systems, it is worthwhile to take a step back and reflect on the contributions that the
paradigm has brought to the application areas to which it has been applied. Undeniably, there have been a lot of successful stories—however, if the
field is to advance in the future and really carve out its own distinctive niche, then it is necessary to be able to illustrate that there are clear benefits to
be obtained by applying this paradigm rather than others. This paper attempts to take stock of the application areas that have been tackled in the
past, and ask the difficult question ‘‘was it worth it ?’’. We then attempt to suggest a set of problem features that we believe will allow the true
potential of the immunological system to be exploited in computational systems, and define a unique niche for AISread more

On the Role of the AIS Practitioner
TL;DR: The AIS field, which seeks to understand immune system operation and exploit these principles in engineering contexts, has been critized for “reasoning by metaphor” as discussed by the authors : algorithms are based on naive biological analogies, are poorly understood, and weekly capture their inspiring biological properties.

No free lunch theorems for optimization
TL;DR: A framework is developed to explore the connection between effective optimization algorithms and the problems they are solving and a number of "no free lunch" (NFL) theorems are presented which establish that for any algorithm, any elevated performance over one class of problems is offset by performance over another class.
Williamson, estimating the support of a high-dimensional distribution
TL;DR: The algorithm is a natural extension of the support vector algorithm to the case of unlabeled data by carrying out sequential optimization over pairs of input patterns and providing a theoretical analysis of the statistical performance of the algorithm.

TL;DR: A "fast EP" (FEP) is proposed which uses a Cauchy instead of Gaussian mutation as the primary search operator and is proposed and tested empirically, showing that IFEP performs better than or as well as the better of FEP and CEP for most benchmark problems tested.

Self-nonself discrimination in a computer
TL;DR: A method for change detection which is based on the generation of T cells in the immune system is described, which reveals computational costs of the system and preliminary experiments illustrate how the method might be applied to the problem of computer viruses.
