The Application of an Artificial Immune System for Solving the Identification Problem in Ecology
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: Ecological prognoises sets the identification task, which is - to find the capacity of pollution sources based on the available experimental data. This problem is an inverse problem, for the solution of which the method of symbolic regression is considered. Some authors solved a similar problem with the help of neural networks. In this paper the distributed artificial immune system is used as an algorithm for the problem solving. The artificial immune system (AIS) is a model that allows solving various problems of identification, its concept was borrowed from biology. The solution is sought using a distributed version of the artificial immune system, which is implemented through a network. This distributed network can operate in any heterogeneous environment, which is achieved through the use of cross-platform Python programming language. AIS demonstrates the ability to restore the original function in the problem of identification. The obtained solution for the test data is represented by the graph. This language has been chosen for the following reasons: cross-platform reason: during the creation of an application, running in a heterogeneous computing environment, the cross-platform factor is very important; the speed of development reason: Python is oriented on the increase of developer productivity and code readability; the standard library reason: includes a large number of useful functions and classes for various tasks such as networking, multithreading, process management.
