When considering function optimisation, there is a trade off between quality of solutions and the number of evaluations it takes to find that solution. Hybrid genetic algorithms have been widely used for function optimisation and have been shown to perform extremely well on these tasks. This paper presents a novel algorithm inspired by the mammalian immune system, combined with a unique mutation mechanism. Results are presented for the optimisation of twelve functions, ranging in dimensionality from one to twenty. Results show that the immune inspired algorithm performs significantly fewer evaluations when compared to a hybrid genetic algorithm, whilst not sacrificing quality of the solution obtained. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
