Immunocomputing (original) (raw)

Immunocomputing explores the principles of information processing that proteins and immune networks utilize in order to solve specific complex problems while protected from viruses, noise, errors and intrusions. It intends to establish: * A proper mathematical framework * A new kind of computing * A new kind of hardware The main difference with other kinds of computing lay on the function of its basic element, the formal protein, defined according with its biological prototype and its mathematical model. The main biophysical issues considered in immunocomputing are: * v * t * e
