- Text focuses on diagnosing infections in immunocompromi sed patients: Over the past twenty-five years, the number of patients with compromised immune systems has grown astronomically . High-risk patients such as these require a unique set of healthcare solutions that take into consideration everything from the etiology and degree of immune suppression to the individual patient's nutritional status. A new text from ASM Press, Diagnostic Microbiology of the Immunocompromi sed Host, examines a wide range of approaches and challenges to infectious disease diagnostics for immunocompromi sed patients.

- Artificial Immune Systems: The Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) have appeared as a new computational approach for the Computational Intelligence community. Like other biologically inspired techniques, it tries to extract ideas from a natural system, in particular the vertebrate immune system, in order to develop computational tools for solving engineering problems. Within a wide range of applications, the author focus on pattern recognition, data analysis (clustering), function approximation and optimization.
- Artificial Immune Systems |: The biological immune system is a highly parallel, distributed, and adaptive system. It uses learning, memory, and associative retrieval to solve recognition and classification tasks. In particular, it learns to recognize relevant patterns, remember patterns that have been seen previously, and use combinatorics to construct pattern detectors efficiently. These remarkable information processing abilities of the immune system provide important aspects in the field of computation. This emerging field is sometimes refered to as Immunological Computation, Immunocomputin g, or Artificial Immune Systems (AIS). Although it is still relatively new, AIS, having a strong relationship with other biology-inspir ed computing models, and computational biology, is establishing its uniqueness and effectiveness through the zealous efforts of researchers around the world.
