Abstract
Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) including the Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA) are an emerging method to detect malware in computer systems. An implementation of the DCA may detect anomalous behavior in various embedded network systems. Unlike previous approaches, the DCA implementation may use an inflammation signal to communicate information among the nodes of a distributed or centralized network, where the inflammatory signal indicates a likelihood to the connected nodes that a local node has been attacked by malicious software.
