Abstract
Although for reasons that are discussed, immunology have had a weak influence so far on the design of artifacts, one key aspect of immune networks, namely their endogenous double plasticity could be of interest for future engineering applications facing complex, hard to model and time-varying environments. In immune networks, this double plasticity allows the system to conduct its self-assertion role while being in constant shifting according to the organism’s ontogenic changes and in response to the environmental coupling.
