A Conceptual Generalized Nets Immunological Model for Agent based Exploration of Unknown Environment

Abstract

Exploration of unknown environment in general is a very broad area, which in the current paper is addressed more to the agent based idea and robotics. As far as the agent and its further development - multiagent modus resembles real social systems the interaction between agents could benefit from the natural mechanisms like immune system. The paper presents a conceptual model for exploration of unknown environment, which extends the immune networks' idea with some self-immunization by means of dynamic anti-body generation with application both in mobile and i-mobile robotics (Smart Homes) modeling and control, maintaining practical benefits like energy saving. The model is described in terms of the Generalized Nets Theory, thus providing a convenient and natural environment for agent-based modeling.
