Self-Nonself Discrimination in a Computer (1994)
by Stephanie Forrest and Alan S. Perelson

Abstract: The problem of protecting computer systems can be viewed generally
as the problem of learning to distinguish self from other. We describe a
method for change detection which is based on the generation of T cells in
the immune system. Mathematical analysis reveals computational costs of the
system, and preliminary experiments illustrate how the method might be
applied to the problem of computer viruses.

Hope that a mechanism of self discrimination
 on the swiki can be interesting to explore.
Ale.
