The AIS paradigms are negative Received in revised form selection, clonal selection, danger theory, and immune network. These paradigms are very successful for 16 April 2014 anomaly IDS. The AIS paradigms are inspired by the powerful human immune system (HIS) and are Accepted 27 June 2014 promising candidate for design of an IDS. The proposed AIS-based agents are capable of learning, self- Available online 31 July 2014 adaption, platform mobility, autonomy and collaboration. The proposed system (MAIS-IDS) was Keywords: designed using these powerful and collaborative agents. This system has mobile and static agents with Multi-agent detector agents as the main actors in MAIS-IDS. The l
