Web Intelligence Meets Immunology

  • Chapter
Complex Medical Engineering

Abstract

In this article, we will discuss how the Wisdom Web (WW) from the next-generation Web Intelligence (WI) development contributes to the research studies in immunology, i.e., the scientific discovery of HIV-immune interaction dynamics. In particular, we will show that a new computing paradigm, called Autonomy Oriented Computing (AOC), will be necessary to support the Wisdom Web to meet this challenge. Throughout our discussion, we will pose several Research Questions, through which the authors intend to highlight the technical issues involved and to stimulate thinking and innovations from the community of researchers pursuing this exciting, interdisciplinary endeavor.
