[DCA00-02]  Artificial Immune Systems: Part II - A Survey of Applications

Fernando José Von Zuben, Leandro Nunes de Castro

Abstract: In the first part of this report (de Castro & Von Zuben, 1999) we introduced the basic immunological concepts and ideas necessary for the development of immune engineering applications. In addition, a few computational algorithms were developed and applied to several different types of problems in order to demonstrate how principles gleaned from the mammal immune system can and must be used in the design of engineering tools for solving complex tasks. An emerging area of research, called "immune engineering", which embodies the artificial immune systems, was introduced. In the second part of this report, we are going to make a brief description of several applications that used immune metaphors, or mechanisms, to solve problems that are usually dealt with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. AI strategies were developed aiming at finding solutions to a broad class of problems, named complex problems, which could not be satisfactorily resolved by traditional methods, like linear, non-linear, multi-objective and dynamic programmin, search trees, graph theory, etc. As will be seen, a great amount of the methods presented in this text constitute hybrid approaches, where AI techniques, like neural networks, fuzzy systems and most importantly evolutionary strategies, were combined with immune principles to give rise to new computational paradigms.

[DCA00-05]  Print Facilities for Report Editor in the CoLab Environment

Bostjan Kolar, Paulo Henrique Fisch de Brito, and Wu Shin-Ting

Abstract: This work aims at providing print facilities to the Colab system, a collaborative learning environment under development by the Group of Image Computing in the Laboratory of Computer Engineering and Industrial Automation. It is performed during the trainee program supported by \mbox{IAESTE} at the Department of Computer Engineering and Industrial Automation of The State University of Campinas - \mbox{Unicamp}, Brazil. CoLab is implemented in Java for taking advantages of reusing the available Java scripts, such as Java Notepad and Java Plotter. In the Colab environment, geographically dispersed students and teachers can synchronously solve a problem through textual (chat) and graphics communication (plotter) and the solution is editable as a report via a Java Notepad, which is desirable to be printable from the CoLab environment if necessary. Our proposal is to convert the report file into a HTML file an print it through a HTML browser.

Keywords: Print facilities, Java programming language, e-learning environment, collaborative environment
