Medical signals are increasingly being used within healthcare for diagnosis, planning treatment, guiding treatment and monitoring disease evolution. Medical imaging mainly treats and processes missing, ambiguous, complementary, redundant, contradictory, distorted data, and information has a strong structural character. This paper reports two "immune algorithms" based approaches for medical signal processing. Immune algorithms belong to the Artificial Immune Systems field. The first proposed approach uses the clonal selection algorithm (CSA) for geometric transform estimation in image registration (IR). The second approach, the Dendritic Cell algorithm (DCA) is used for automatic driver stress detection using biomedical signals.

In this paper, an efficient technique based on clonal selection algorithm (clonalG) for linear antenna array pattern synthesis with null steering by controlling only the element excitation phases is presented. The clonalG is an evolutionary computation method inspired by the clonalselection principle of human immune system. To show the versatility and flexibility of the proposed clonalG, some examples of Chebyshev array pattern with the imposed single, multiple and broad nulls are given. The sensitivity of the nulling patterns due to small variations of the element phases is also investigated. (C) 2007 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Based on the clonalselection principle proposed by Burnet, in the immune response process there is no crossover of genetic material between members of the repertoire, i.e., there is no knowledge communication during different elite pools in the previous clonalselection models. As a result, the search performance of these models is ineffective. To solve this problem, inspired by the concept of the idiotypic network theory, an expanded lateral interactive clonal selection algorithm (LICS) is put forward. In LICS, an antibody is matured not only through the somatic hypermutation and the receptor editing from the B cell, but also through the stimuli from other antibodies. The stimuli is realized by memorizing some common gene segment on the idiotypes, based on which a lateral interactive receptor editing operator is also introduced. Then, LICS is applied to several benchmark instances of the traveling salesman problem. Simulation results show the efficiency and robustness of LICS when compared to other traditional algorithms.

Both the clonal selection algorithm (CSA) and the ant colony optimization (ACO) are inspired by natural phenomena and are effective tools for solving complex problems. CSA can exploit and explore the solution space parallely and effectively. However, it can not use enough environment feedback information and thus has to do a large redundancy repeat during search. On the other hand, ACO is based on the concept of indirect cooperative foraging process via secreting pheromones. Its positive feedback ability is nice but its convergence speed is slow because of the little initial pheromones. In this paper, we propose a pheromone-linker to combine these two algorithms. The proposed hybrid clonalselection and ant colony optimization (CSA-ACO) reasonably utilizes the superiorities of both algorithms and also overcomes their inherent disadvantages. Simulation results based on the traveling salesman problems have demonstrated the merit of the proposed algorithm over some traditional techniques.

Improved clonal selection algorithms were proposed as a method to implement optimal iterative learning control algorithms. The strength of the method is that it not only can cope with non-minimum phase plants and nonlinear plants even there are uncertainties in their models, but also can deal with constraints on input signals conveniently by a specially designed mutation operator. Simulations show that the convergence speed is satisfactory regardless of the nature of the plants and whether or not the models of the plants are precise.

FIR filter has some advantages, such as system stability, simple implement, and linear phase. It has been widely used in digital signal processing and other relative fields. clonal selection algorithm has been applied successfully in solving problems like memory acquisition, multi-modal optimization and traveling salesman problem. This paper proposes a novel FIR filter design method. It combines clonal selection algorithm and window function method to achieve optimization. In the design process, float coding is adopted to increase the convergence precision. Some simulation experiments are carried out to verify the performance of the presented algorithm. The results show that the introduced method is able to design some FIR filter which is difficult for other methods. The filter design approach discussed in this paper is universal and easy to implement.

This study introduces an artificial immune system (AIS) based algorithm to solve the unequal area facility layout problem (FLP) with flexible bay structure (FBS). The proposed clonal selection algorithm (CSA) has a new encoding and a novel procedure to cope with dummy departments that are introduced to fill the empty space in the facility area. The algorithm showed consistent performance for the 25 test problem cases studied. The problems with 100 and 125 were studied with FBS first time in the literature. CSA provided four new best FBS solutions and reached to sixteen best-so-far FBS solutions. Further, the two very large size test problems were solved first time using FBS representation, and results significantly improved the previous best known solutions. The overall results state that CSA with FBS representation was successful in 95.65% of the test problems when compared with the best-so-far FBS results and 90.90% compared with the best known solutions that have not used FBS representation.

Structural condition monitoring methods can be generally classified as local and global. While the global method needs only a small number of sensors to measure the low-frequency structural vibration properties, the acquired information is often not sufficiently sensitive to minor damages in a structure. Local methods, on the other hand, could be very sensitive to minor damages but their detection range is usually small. To overcome the drawbacks and take advantage of both methods, an integrated condition monitoring system has been recently developed for structural damage detection, which combines guided wave and structural vibration tests. This study aims at finding a viable damage identification method for steel structures by using this system. First, a spectral element modelling method is developed, which can simulate both wave propagation and structural vibration properties. Then the model is used in updating analysis to identify crack damage. Extensive numerical simulations and model updating works are conducted. The experimental and numerical results suggest that simply combining the objective functions cannot provide better structural damage identification. A two-stage damage identification scheme is more suitable for identifying damage in steel beams.

Compensations for cross-axis coupling effect and hysteretic nonlinearity of a novel XY piezo-actuated positioning stage are presented in this study. The piezo-actuated stage utilizes a monolithic flexure-based mechanism (FBM) to achieve translations in X- and Y-axes instead of using stacked mechanisms. A hysteresis model with crossover term is proposed to alleviate the cross coupling effect between X- and Y-stages during precision positioning tasks. System identifications using real-coded genetic algorithm (RCA) and clonal selection algorithm (CSA) are compared with particle swarm optimization (PSO). The results show that PSO provides better performance than the others. Therefore, a feedforward controller with cross-axis coupling compensation is studied and the used for the piezo-actuated FBM to enhance the precision of the coarse positioning stage. The experimental results confirm that the proposed controller can achieve precision tracking tasks with submicron precision. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The Gravitational Search algorithm (GSA) is one of the recent additions to the new heuristic optimization algorithms based on law of gravity and mass interactions has been applied to solve the short term scheduling hydrothermal system. In the proposed algorithm, the searcher agents are collection of masses interact with each other based on the Newtonian gravity and the laws of motion. Hydrothermal scheduling involves the optimization of nonlinear objective function with set of operational and physical constraints. The cascading nature of hydro plants, water transport delay and scheduling time linkage, power balance constraints, variable hourly water discharge limits, reservoir storage limits, operation limits of thermal and hydro units, hydraulic continuity constraint and initial and final reservoir storage limits are fully taken into consideration. The validity and the performance of the proposed approach are demonstrated through a large hydrothermal test system comprising of 54 thermal and 44 hydro plants.
