Enhanced Artificial Immune System Algorithm and Its Comparison to Bio-Inspired Optimization Techniques for Electromagnetics Applications
Keywords:
Antireflective surface, artificial immune system (AIS), bio-inspired optimization, enhanced artificial immune system (EAIS), microstrip (EBG), particle swarm optimization (PSO)Abstract
This paper introduces an enhanced artificial immune system algorithm (EAIS) that benefits from a hybrid approach by integrating concepts from the genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The potential of the EAIS algorithm is demonstrated by comparing its performance with other bio-inspired optimization algorithms; namely the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and the conventional artificial immune system (AIS) when applied to two electromagnetics applications, such as the design of antireflective surfaces, and microstrip electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures.
