An Immune Multi-agent System for Network Intrusion Detection

Inspired by the immune theory and multi-agent systems, an immune multi-agent system for network intrusion detection is established. The concept of immune agent is introduced. And its logical structure and running mechanism are established. This model implements the multi-layer and distributed mechanism for network intrusion detection. The experimental results show that the new model not only reduces the False-Negative rate and False-Positive rate effectively but also has the feature to adapt to continuous changing network environments.
