Abstract

An artificial immune system (AIS) is a biological inspiration of the human immune system and continues to emerge as a technique for a wide area of applications. This paper presents a model of AIS as it applies to a multi-agent formation problem, similar to predator and prey scenario. Successful multi-agent formations are discovered in conjunction with the artificial immune system´s agents and their behaviors. The hierarchy of agents within the artificial immune system support; a system of systems (SoS) based development strategy. The AIS SoS model is implemented based on discrete event specification (DEVS) and simulated using the DEVSJAVA software framework. The resulting model and simulation demonstrates successfully created multi-agent formations of predator around a single prey.
